Charcoal BBQ Tongs, Metal Heat-Resistant Pick-Up Tool, 36cm or 41cm

Metal charcoal tongs for barbecue and outdoor fires

Handle charcoal and other items around a barbecue or outdoor fire with this multifunctional metal pick-up tool. Its long scissor-style design keeps your hands further from the working area than a short utensil, while the heat-resistant construction makes it suited to use around hot cooking equipment and fires.

The gripping ends are shaped for picking up and moving items, with serrated sections visible along the jaws to help hold what you are handling. The large looped handles provide a familiar scissor-style operation, making the tool straightforward to open and close when tending a barbecue, fire bowl or camping cooking area.

Who this barbecue tool suits

• Barbecue cooks who need a dedicated tool for handling charcoal.
• Campers and outdoor cooks preparing or tending a fire.
• Anyone looking for a longer metal pick-up utensil for outdoor cooking equipment.
• Shoppers choosing between two lengths to suit their available reach and storage space.

This is a practical tool for moving or picking up items around the fire. It is not presented as a general-purpose food serving utensil, so use it for the task and conditions that suit your setup.

Choose the right length

Two size options are available. Both versions are 11cm wide, with the overall length determining the reach of the tool:

• 36cm: 36cm long x 11cm wide, equivalent to 14.17 x 4.33 inches.
• 41cm: 41cm long x 11cm wide, equivalent to 16.14 x 4.33 inches.

Choose 36cm for a more compact option, or 41cm when the extra length is more useful for your barbecue or camping fire arrangement. Compare the stated dimensions with your storage space and the distance you need to reach before selecting your size.

Using the charcoal pick-up tool

1. Select the required length before starting work around the barbecue or fire.
2. Operate the looped handles to open and close the serrated gripping ends.
3. Position the jaws around the item you need to move, then lift and place it carefully.
4. Keep the tool under control throughout use and take care around hot charcoal, metal and flames.

The tool is made from metal and is described as heat resistant. Heat resistance does not remove the need for sensible fire safety: work carefully around live heat and allow the tool to cool fully before putting it away.

Care and storage

Allow the metal tool to cool completely after use. Once cool, remove any loose residue and keep it in a dry place ready for the next barbecue, camping trip or outdoor fire. Store it where the serrated gripping ends cannot catch on other utensils.

Available as a 36cm or 41cm size, this metal barbecue tool is a useful addition to an outdoor cooking kit where controlled pick-up and movement of charcoal or fire-side items is required.
