Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

I bought these so I could make pulled pork and chicken from my slow cooked barbecue. They work great for this...the added value for me is the fact that I can lift the pork shoulder off the grill with these too. They seem well made and are easy to grip.
Bought a smoker recently and needed something to move the delicate big shoulder roasts after 12 hours of smoking. Works perfectly! Also fantastic for shredding the shoulder for pulled pork. Have since used them on beef brisket, and even whole chickens in the oven. Have no idea where these simple tools have been my whole life.
I've only used these once or twice, but they worked really well. Still, I can't help but think, as another reviewer mentioned, that they would be better with an additional tine or two, decreasing the spacing between them. I emailed the company inquiring about the possibility of an update to the product to do this, and never received a response. Still, it's a simple product that you can't really go wrong with, and from what I can see is the best available solution. Certainly much better than using forks.
I purchased this item as a Christmas present for my son. He loves to cook and create new dishes. His eyes lit up and got huge when he saw these meat claws.
The quality of the materials is very high and we look forward to many years of use for this item.
Pulls pork beautifully. Any meat. Good for making Mexican "stringy beef" dishes and others where the meat must be shredded. I don't get them anywhere near charcoal so I think the name is too limiting. I'm sure the uses are limited only by the imagination. I have used the tongs to pull items from boiling water and toast from the toaster. Handy little gizmos.
I bought these claws for pulling pork, figured the steel would be better and last longer than plastic ones. I have only used them once so I'm hesitant to badmouth them too much, but, I didn't have a fun time using them. I think the claws are too far apart, after the meat shredded once the resulting pieces slipped through the tines and I wound up using two forks to make the end result manageable. I plan to give them one more shot this weekend and will update this review then, maybe it's me and not the claws!
1. This product is a meat separator and it does what is advertised. 2. Stainless steel prongs make sure that the pulled meat preparation is perfect and its easy to remove the oil and leftovers. 3. Reasonably big but comfortable to hold 4. Red hand grips are awesome 5. Brings out your inner Wolverine ;) 6. Good package and great delivery
Cons :
1. Doesn't come with Hugh Jackman 2. Sometimes makes you howl at the moon in outdoor BBQ parties
Verdict :
1. For amateurs/home users : Sure go ahead, who doesn't love pulled BBQ ? 2. Tinkernuts : Not for you guys 3. Gamers : Definitely not for you 4. After sales service : yet to see how they provide support. Intend to update this thread if such an experience occurs. 5. Will it solve your life's problems ? -Yes 7. What were my other choices ? none

Product Seller Feedback : 5 stars
1. Thumbs up for being super fast with shipping. 2. Packing it nicely so that it survives the journey.
Bought these as opposed to some of the cheaper products on offer as I thought they would be a nice birthday gift. However, rather disappointed when they arrived to find that the handles are very grubby with black marks on them. No time to return them as they came from the States and the birthday is looming, but at this price, I do not expect to receive a grubby product! Otherwise, the claws look sturdy.
