I believe what LTS is referring to is a "Beef or Pork Meat Shredder". I almost bought one..It should solve your pulling issues. Deep pockets required!
I bought a device from amazon a few years back (Beef Or Pork Meat Shredder, Potato Masher, Stainless Steel & Aluminum ) works awesome if you have  few butts to shred up. Chuck it up in a cordless drill and go to town about ten seconds later you have perfect shredded pork

LTS

I asked a similar question a couple months ago & I ordered one of these. No deep pockets required. I paid about $18.00 to have it shipped to my door. This is the only way to go when pulling pork butts.
I drop it in a 5 gallon pail & Like LTS said, 10 seconds & your done!

Haven't tried it on beef yet.

hands/fingers  :  I usually try to let it cool down so I don't burn my tender fingers. :)   

It's rare that I'm trying to feed people while the meat is still hot, I really very much prefer to wait for the meat too cool down to a level that's just bellow my tolerance for pain. Not sure if it's my imagination or not, but I think the meat pulls easier after it's cooled down.. ( might be a couple hours of resting while wrapped )

Power meat shredder?
I’m quite methodical when pulling pork.
I find that the finished butt still contains plenty of fat and connective tissue.
So that is separated and goes into a dump Pail while the cleaner meat goes in the pile for serving.

I do mine all by hand. Just old fashioned I guess. I put on some work gloves with some nitriles over them. Gets pretty warm but I like it.

What is the texture like when you use this method? Do you remove the fat and connective tissue before or after you process? I too would like to know your source. Thanks

Bear claws. Though I've heard of people using their KitchenAid mixers with the dough hook.

Started with bear claws-gave to father in law.  Now have meat rakes, but they can be awkward to use at times. I usually just pull by hand, and then remove all fat/connective tissue at same time.
Does the meat shredder only work with a drill or do they make one to insert in a mixer?

I have these and  use them with a hand mixer.



They didn't fit the mixer I had so I bought one of these. they work well, but will turn it to much if you use them for to long.
