Donkey Long Tong 32-inch Firewood & Fireplace Tongs — Stainless Steel with Oak Handle, Extra-Long Reach for Safer Fire Tending

Designed by fire cooks in Cape Town, the Donkey Long Tong combines 304 food-grade stainless steel, solid oak handles and brass rivets into a durable tool that keeps your hands well away from heat. It’s an extra-long log grabber that works across fire pits, pizza ovens, campfires, wood stoves, smokers and grills, with thoughtful extras like a sliding lock and integrated bottle opener. The result is a multipurpose, heirloom-quality tong for anyone who spends time around open flame.

How does 32 inches of reach make a difference at the fire?

The extended length increases safety and control by nearly doubling the distance between your hands and the heat compared with standard tongs. You can move larger logs, reposition embers or tend a pizza oven without leaning over flames, reducing burn risk and improving leverage for heavy pieces.

• 32-inch stainless-steel arms keep you farther from flame and smoke.
• Long reach lets you manage larger logs without bending into heat.
• Better leverage for prying and repositioning stubborn wood or coals.

What materials and construction ensure these tongs last?

Each Donkey Long Tong is forged from 304 food-grade stainless steel, assembled with brass rivets and fitted with white oak handles for strength and heat resistance. Handmade in Cape Town by craftsmen who cook on fire, these tongs are built to resist rust, hold up under heavy use and become a long-term part of your outdoor kit.

• 304 stainless resists corrosion from smoke, ash, and outdoor conditions.
• Solid white oak handles provide a comfortable, heat-resistant grip.
• Brass rivets and hand-forged joints add durability and serviceability.

What extra features make this more than just a pair of tongs?

Donkey Long Tong includes practical touches that simplify fire-side cooking and storage: a built-in bottle opener for a cold drink between tasks and a sliding lock to hold the arms closed when not in use. Small design details save space, reduce clutter and make the tongs handy for grilling, camping and entertaining.

• Integrated bottle opener lets you open beverages while tending the fire.
• Sliding lock secures the tongs closed for neat storage and safer transport.
• Recyclable kraft packaging makes it gift-ready right out of the box.

How versatile are these tongs across different fire-cooking situations?

These tongs are designed to be a single, multipurpose tool that handles most fire tasks: moving logs at a bonfire, shifting coals in a pizza oven, adjusting wood in a smoker or grabbing hot grill racks. Their length and robust grip mean fewer tools to carry on camping trips or to keep by the backyard fire pit.

• Works with fire pits, pizza ovens, wood stoves, campfires, smokers and grills.
• Grips logs, coals, grill baskets and even hot cookware with control.
• Handy for camping, tailgates, backyard gatherings and professional cooks.

Who is this for? The Donkey Long Tong is ideal for anyone who regularly cooks or socializes around open flame—from backyard hosts and pizza-oven aficionados to campers and backyard pitmasters. It’s a premium, gift-ready tool for people who prefer robust, handmade gear and want a single, long-reach tong that will perform reliably for years rather than a disposable alternative.
