BBQ Wooden Tongs Eighteen inches of oiled beechwood, made entirely by hand. At 18.1 inches, these tongs put real distance between your hand and the coals. The tips and inside edges are ground to meet cleanly along their whole length, so they close on a sausage or a chop without pinching it loose. Wood also means no scratched grates and no metal heating up in your grip. Each pair is 100% handmade from oiled beechwood. The ends are glued and then joined with stainless steel screws, so the hinge holds under repeated pressure instead of working loose. A thumb recess and shaped finger waves along the arms give you a secure, comfortable grip while you work. Made by Bürstenhaus Redecker in Germany. How To Use Grip at the shaped finger waves, with your thumb in the recess, for the most control. Squeeze evenly so the ground tips close flush on what you're turning. Keep the tips out of open flame and off the hot grate when not in use. Wipe clean with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Do not soak or put in the dishwasher. Key Features 100% Handmade Every pair is made by hand, start to finish. Precision-Ground Tips Tips and sides are ground to fit together smoothly for a clean, even grip. Glued and Screwed Joint The ends are glued and reinforced with stainless steel screws so the hinge stays tight. Ergonomic Grip A thumb recess and shaped finger waves hold your hand in the right place. Oiled Beechwood Dense hardwood that stays cool in the hand and won't scratch your grates.

They're the kind of thing a German brushmaker makes when the job is to hold something over fire and nothing more.
