Just about 19.5 hours on the DB. Overnight at 180 then up to 240 for the last 6 hours. Let them cool for about an hour and pulled. Did not even foil! That is six 10 lb pork shoulders.

Nice post! Welcome!
Do the bear claws get greasy and hard to handle? You use them so I am gonna assume you like them?
-
I'll have a sandwich, thanks.
Okay, so the photographs are rotated in the post but not if I click on the link. I think QuadMan750 had the same situation.

Nice bark.
Bentley, I have not used those bear claws, but have used the plastic ones. I was not a fan of them. I bought Meat Rakes and liked those better. Most of the time lately, I just take 2 forks and use them to pull as the meat is already falling apart from being in the foil after the stall.
-
I normally put on the gloves and use my hands. Next week I have to cook 26 Butts for my wife's church picnic so I bought a Stainless chopper that fits in a drill and I will be using that to shred the butts. Tried the claws and I'm not a big fan of them.

OK, as I look closer, they are not bear claws...my mistake. Have a friend that used to say, if the pork is cooked correctly all the way through all you need is two sturdy spatulas. He would just use them like 2 cleavers in a metal steam try! They did work. I am a cool till I can touch and hand guy!.
-
I have never tried the claws but have always heard mixed results. I usually put on a pair of gloves and pull by hand.
-
Who needs claws...
-
Is that a Roman PP like Jim did the Product Review on PH...or is that the one you and your father(?) made...
-

i use the same method.

Yes a Roman, belongs to the guy that owns the Traeger Com 200 in the background.

I have a Roman too but have found that it shreds the pork vs pulling
Sometimes I like bigger chuncks vs fine shred.
YMMV

Impressed by the magnitude of your cook:
SIX
10 LBS EACH
AWESOME!!

Same but I normally only cook 2 at a time!

Me too - after they rest and cool a bit. I do not shred or chop, I try for big chunks and slices where I can. After a couple hundred you know where the tubes, etc. are and where the excess fat is. I have the plastic claws but never used them....I just prefer it not look like of the chopped to powder Carolina stuff. Just me.

FWIW, I slice the finished product (bone removed) into 3/4-1" slices and use my hands to pull/breakup, discarding fat and other undesirables. This method cuts down time to pull and results in fairly uniform bite size pieces.

I have been removing the bone most of the summer - maybe 12-16 shoulders - using butchers twine to bind the - one smoke ring to...oops did not mean to get all LTR. It is kind of a pain to take the bone out and it doesn't seem like it would make the "processing" easier, but I too think it does, and anything to make that end of the cook easier is a good thing.

Sorry - LTR - One Ring to rule them all, One ring to find them; One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. kind of a reach I guess.

+1 for the LOTR reference. Makes me wanna fire up the HD projector in the man cave and slap on some ribs. :clap:
As to the OP; I love my meat rakes.

I thought LTR meant "Long Term Relationship" -- so I thought, "Well, some people are very into their meat and maybe he feels he has a long term relationship with pork". ;D

My take on LTR, too.
Most Sci-Fi and all fantasy are not my style, so I missed the reference. If I want a dose of fantasy I'll call my broker.
