What do you use for charcoal tongs?

I have been using my cooking tongs and then cleaning them before handling the food but I think I'm ready for something dedicated just for charcoal. What are you using to move the coals around?

I just use an old pair of tong that has wooden handles. Think it came with one of those grilling kits with a spatula and corn ears etc.

Yup. That's what I use. They sucked for food usage, then became great coal movers.
Multiple kettles and WSM's. I am not a collector, just a gatherer... and a sick bastard.

 Your right! I forgot how much they sucked at food lol.

What happened to the handle? Is that for extra forearm leverage? :)

I was in Target last night and that are stocking them in store this year. I was tempted but decided to wait until I got a set of dedicated tongs for the coal. Hmm... decisions.

Oxo good grips or the unbranded equivalent. You can find them on Amazon for ~$12 or at the restaurant supply stores for ~$8.

I use my hands. I can understand if you need some kind of equipment though.

I use an old ice fishing skimmer. You can move a few, or a lot. Plus it has a pretty long handle
