Thats Cool !

Nepas, I got one of those and it is the handiest ever. It is built heavy enough that the first time I used it, I was cooking 32 butts and used it to pull each of them from the smoker. Never had to put my gloves on. Great tool.

 

[harleysmoker]

Yeah that's pretty cool, several times I have used 2 small one's to move stuff.

Dual use. move a five pound butt then send a few yellow jackets to the promised land.

Might be yellow jackets in Ca. but here in FL. it's love bugs.

Also useful for beating back the hoards of hungry neighbors who flock to the smell of thin blue smoke..... If they get a little too rambunchous if you know what I mean

So where does one acquire one of those fine examples of metal craftsmanship?

I know what you mean. I live in a small valley, most of the other homes have a good view of my backyard. Whenever there is smoke rising out of the yard neighbors seem to want to stop by and have a cold brew.

I got it as a freebie.

I hate them love bugs

If we can't find a MANCHULA, what do you think of "Bear Claws"?

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Dont like snow anymore either.

Meat rakes are better than the claws for pulling but the claws are good for picking up whole cuts from the grate.

I found a set of the bear claws for like $6 in Gatlinburg last fall.  They are Ok, but I think the rakes would be better as you still end up with your hands down in the smoking hot pork when you pull it with the claws. They do work great for moving large portions of meat around though, and are a big step up from large serving forks which are murder on my wrists (I think it has to do with the angle I hold them).  If you are pulling more than one or two shoulders, anything is better than forks.

And Linguica, so you have neighbors that see smoke & come a running to eat you que AND drink your beer.  Oh hell no.....  There have been wars fought over less in Georgia (Nepas take note since you are now officially a Georgian).  Everybody knows proper etiquette is to at least bring ice cold beer (enough to share).  Nothing like some ice cold beer while smelling that wonderful TBS waiting on the food to finish smoking sitting in the shade of the porch under those new fangled E-lectric ceiling fans.  Sort of makes time move slower (in a good way)....

 

[linguica]

YES .........I think we are have to make that a new rule. I used to grill on Friday evenings after work and everyone was told to bring enough food for two people. After a few hours we we had so much food that people just walking down the street where asking to buy some of our BBQ. And enough beer and wine to float a boat. Good times I miss them.

Totally agree on the meat rakes - bear claws are hard to hold too
