5.0 out of 5 stars For more than just camping out, September 30, 2010

I don't know why there's a million tongs for meat out there but almost no tongs for coals, like these. I'm glad I found them. They're lightweight and easily long enough to get down into my smoker to efficiently add or move around burning coals in the fire, or for adding wood chunks to just the right spot to keep them from burning up too quickly when smoking meat. I highly recommend them for the amateur or pro pit master. They're very sturdy, made of cast iron and obviously built to last.

A little hard to use but an OK product.
I find myself using a standard pair of long tongs more often.
They don't open up very much so they are good for charcoal but not for wood chunks

I ordered these for use with my smoker, and grill. I use a chimney starter, and then need tongs to spread the coals around. I wanted a pair of tongs to dedicate to this purpose instead of using the same one I use to turn the food. These were actually the only ones I could find that are specifically designed for charcoal. I admit that I didn't do an exhaustive search, so I'm sure others are available somewhere.

I like the flat tongs for moving coals. They seem to get a hold of them a bit better than tongs designed for meat. They seem sturdy, but are not heavy. These are about the same length as other tongs designed for use on a grill. I actually might have preferred a few inches longer, but it's fine with a good pair of gloves. Any decent pair of grill tongs should work fine; but if you want a pair dedicated to moving coals, I like these.
