So if you happened to read my post about grill some lamb chops last night, you know that I am sporting some medium rare knuckles this AM and have decided now that I am playing with fire I need better tools.
My short silicon tipped tongs work great on my portable smoke hollow for the RV and my Champ Chef Griddle and grill, but not some much for a rip roaring lump charcoal fire.
The silicone tends to be slippery and at times can make it hard to grip the food, the Lamb chops last night put up a heck of a fight and made it hard to get 45 degree turns for grill marks. They definitely weren't long enough to keep my knuckles from cooking either.
So what ya got, show me your favorite tongs for the smoker/grill. While at it, I also discovered I need a tool for bunching up the charcoal in the maze, when I need to reload, and spreading it out, after pulling the maze and switch the All-start into grill mode. I used my teppanyaki spatula from my griddle last night, which also didn't do my knuckles any favors. So show me all your cool tongs and other tools you use to play with fire.
