I have been watching food network the past 2 weeks, and they have been
hitting on BBQ'ing and Grilling. On several shows, I have seen them
do the Pork Butt, and when it is done they put it in a machine... the
meat didn't look ground when it came out, but more or less shredded.
The pork looked very nice, and looked like it layed on the sandwich
better than just pulled pork.

What could home cooker use to emulate this process? When I say home
cooker... you know the average Joe... those that don't have alot of
cash to blow on some fancy shmancy machine.

Thanks.

Two large serving forks works fine for me.

Not sure what they had on FN, but as the other poster said, two forks work
fine for me. The first couple of times it didn't, but this is because I
didn't cook it long enough and it was really aggravating, but once I was a
bit more patient and left the butt on the smoker and let it get up to a
pullable temp, two forks worked perfectly.

My hands work the best if you can stand the heat.

I use 2 forks as almost all q'ers use, but I use 2 large forks, the
kind used for holding a turkey or beef roast when slicing.They have
large handles and long tines. I seem to have more control than regular
forks for dining. They are more ridged and you can really power shred
the butts.

I must be dumber than most, never could shred well with two forks.
Spent $10 on plastic claws, works much better for me.
