Bear Paw claws are standard equipment in any BBQ King's castle. They come in great for handling meat during three types of occasions: (1) when you're dealing with raw meat and don't want to wash your hands every time you need to move one slab of ribs to marinate the other; (2) when you've got an enormous freshly-cooked turkey, pork shoulder, or brisket that's too heavy for tongs; and (3) when it's time to pull apart that slow-cooked pork shoulder for those pulled pork sandwiches.
