How fast can you pull a butt by hand?

HB-BBQ · 06-23-2011, 01:45 PM

The ultimate thread got me thinking...Anyway how fast can you do one without tools or hydraulics?

My average is 3-4 minutes depending on fat content.

wildflower · 06-23-2011, 01:49 PM

with or without gloves

with gloves, 3-4 min.

without, 50-60 min and a lot of ouching

I've never timed myself nor have a tried to go really fast. I would guess somewhere around 3-4 minutes as well.

comps with gloves - 8+- minutes

home with gloves - 6 minutes
home w/o gloves - 30 minutes with OUCH OUCH OUCH the whole way

It depends on whose butt it is and how fast they run.

dataz722 · 06-23-2011, 02:30 PM

15-20 minutes but have been really trying to get all fat before and didn't have gloves until recently. I haven't pulled one with gloves yet.

If you're required to wear gloves, do you really want to know whose butt it was?

SmokinCoyote · 06-23-2011, 02:40 PM

The two we did last weekend came out perfect. Super tender and juicy but not mushy. After they sat about 5 to 10 minutes the bone pulled out clean and then a few "squishes, for a lack of a better term" with hands in gloves on each butt and there was a nice pile of pulled pork. So I am guessing about 2 minutes tops. (granted this was home cooking so we wern't trying to pull nice pretty pieces to be judged and I had to sample it a few times while pulling it). It is impossible to resist them fatty, crispy chunks of bark with a little super smokey piece of meat stuck to them.

Comps...probably ten minutes or so...pickin' out the prime stuff...
Catering...three to four minutes per butt...

Jaskew82 · 06-23-2011, 03:46 PM

What kind of gloves do you use?

ssbbqguy · 06-23-2011, 04:26 PM

Cotton jersey gloves under food gloves. Steve.
