Donkey Long Tong 27" Heavy-Duty BBQ Tongs with Oak Handle — 27-inch Reach, 304 Stainless & Bottle Opener

Donkey Tong 27" Heavy Duty BBQ Tongs are extra-long, handcrafted stainless-steel tongs with an oak handle made for safe, precise grilling, smoking, and campfire cooking. These tongs combine a 27-inch reach with a flat, non-tearing head and a durable white oak handle so you can manage hot coals, flip large cuts, and tend a smoker without leaning over flames. Forged from 304 food-grade stainless steel, finished with brass rivets and hand-polished in South Africa, the Donkey Tong is built to withstand heavy use and still look great on the grill or as a thoughtful gift.

How do these tongs keep me farther from the heat?

The 27-inch length gives you extra leverage and distance from the fire so you can flip or pull meat without getting too close to flames or smoke. The long arms reduce the need to bend forward, improving safety when working with deep smokers or open pits.

• 27-inch reach for safe distance from flames and hot coals
• Flat, wide head designed to flip without piercing or shredding meat
• Solid stainless-steel construction for rigidity under load

What materials and craftsmanship make these tongs durable?

Each tong is forged from 304 food-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and strength. The white oak handle is hand-finished and fastened with brass rivets, combining a classic look with long-lasting performance suited to repeated high-heat use.

• 304 food-grade stainless steel resists rust and warping
• Brass rivets secure joints for stable, long-term use
• Hand-sanded white oak handle for a comfortable, heat-resistant grip

What practical features help during a cookout?

Donkey Tong includes user-friendly details that make grilling more convenient: a built-in bottle opener for quick access to a drink, and a sliding lock to keep the tong closed in storage. The flat head is shaped to handle ribs, steaks, and whole fish without tearing while providing a firm grip on food.

Which grills and cooking styles is this best suited for?
