Just getting started in BBQ - What are some "must haves" that I should put on my Christmas wishlist?

As for the Bear Claws, I have a set and use them when I have a large quantity (4 or more) of pork to pull... They are a tool and have their place.

Try having to pull/shred 20+ butts by individual sammies over a 6 hour period. *OUCH*

Billy (Fatboyz) came up with a way of doing just that. He removes the bone, puts the butt in a sterilized 5 gal. bucket and uses a sterilized version of a paint mixer attached to his 1/4" drill... It makes quick work of it. Any remaining fat breaks down but the meat still has texture.

Yeah, park the Lang under the tree!

I wouldn't buy the knife set. Get a couple individual knives that you really like instead. You will grow fond of certain knives as you use them.

Knives can all be sharpened very good. The high dollar knives are made with better steel and keep a sharp edge longer. Get you knives sharp and then after every use, run across the stone.
Someone said sharpening a knife is an art, it is. Learn how to do it correctly. Also dry your knives after washing. Don't air dry.
