Pull bone out.....start shredding.  You will know (when you get into it) what to discard.....there are some fatty stringy things that you will throw away.  Again instinct will kick in and you will be like "oh I'm not keeping that crap"  :biggrin:

Also some make their pull very fine and others (like me) like to have some substance to the pull......bigger chunks.

awesome. Thanks a ton!
 
I pull with my hands to whatever the shreds want to come out at. I like Scott do prefer bigger chunks of meat in my pull. Throw away the stringy pieces but the fat that just melts in your hands I always mix in with the meat.
 
So can anyone provide so tips on pulling? I have bear claws. Do I just pull the bone out and start shredding? What should I pull out vs leave in?
If you take it to 203 and let it rest, the bone will just fall out. The pulling will be obvious. Any large chunks of fat will just fall off and there will be plenty of juice in the rest. I have never found the need to use bear claws or forks. I just was my hands well and pull it apart if it has cooled enough. If not I put on some latex gloves and use a fork.

You may start finding yourself going out to the smoker just to get a whiff when you're not smoking. Another risk is neighbours and friends start asking you to smoke for them and you look forward to it. Yep, you are addicted.

Great job on the butt!
