The tong that separates improvisers from fire controllers. 50 cm of 18/10 just for coals: rearrange, build zones, save your hand.

Who it's for

Not for

FAQ
How do they differ from ordinary food tongs?
These are purpose-built for handling charcoal and briquettes: the tips are wide and toothed to grab irregular lump and reposition embers without dropping them. You do not want your food tongs for this — direct heat and ash ruin the fine food-grip. Alongside a Rapidfire chimney they are the clean pair for fluid-free lighting.
What are they made of and do they take the heat?
They are Rösle 18/10 stainless, the same as their kitchen range, so the body easily withstands live-ember heat. The metal does heat up with prolonged use, so pair them with gloves if you will spend a while rearranging the fire. Dishwasher safe.
Can I use them to dump the chimney into the kamado?
To tip the chimney it is better to grab it by the handle, but these tongs are ideal for spreading embers once inside and shaping direct/indirect heat zones. If you also want to clear ash and level the bed, the Weber charcoal rake complements them well.
