My set up- a Brinkman gourmet with propane afterburner.  Smoked with Apple.  I put a single apple chunk in a can and rest on edge of afterburner to get my smoke

Metal ones would be great- I actually thought these were metal until they arrived from Amazon.  I purchased on a recomendation from a member on this board years ago.  Could you spill the beans on which "big box" had them in metal?

Looks real nice, great color.

How effective are those bear claws? I have been on the fence about picking some up

Does freezing the left overs effect the taste at all? I haven't tried that.

No, freezing does not harm PP. Place it in Vac Bags and freeze up to 6mos. , but why

 It doesn't last that long around here...

I think the bear claws are great, but like I said metal ones would be even better.  They are also good for moving hot food around, with the additional spikes you can lift things like a butt that is about to fall to pieces with ease.
