What do you use for charcoal tongs?

[Craig]

I want these ones Weber 13010:

Those look like an angry dragon.

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

You must grill a lot to be able to pick up lit coals by hand

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

I just ordered these for $6.73 as an add on:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VNX80CI/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3824OYQJLEOLY&coliid=IO2UNGIU7JKHN

Your link is showing as $15 for me but this one is $8 and is basically the OXO: https://www.amazon.com/Precision-Kitchenware-Premium-Locking-Kitchen/dp/B00N2YFTYI/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1488782597&sr=8-17-spons&keywords=oxo+tong&psc=1

LOL.  I have two pairs of these, a longer pair and a shorter pair.  They are always hanging from my SSP and rarely get cleaned.  They are great for moving coals around and suck for food.  If anyone is noticing my dirty tongs, I'll stick them through the grate and into the coals to "sterilize" them.

Then I have some rubber tipped tongs I use on the grill for more delicate cooks like brats and chicken where I am being careful not to break the skin.  I think one is from target and the three matching ones I got on amazon for under $15.  That set is actually pretty nice as the ends are a little bigger than usual and are fairly sturdy.  The matching set are "Culinary Couture"



Gross!  lol.


They do hang nicely from the end of my SSP though.

I got a decent set of Kingsford branded grill tools at the wholesale club a few years back, the tongs are all that remain, and they are great for moving coal.

Yeah the price jumped after I bought a set. They arrived today. For the $6.73 I paid for them they are really nice.

I use a pair of those as my charcoal tongs as well. Funny thing is, I've had those tongs longer than I've had any Weber (and they've always been charcoal tongs)

I use these. I got the whole set when I picked up a grill. It's Weber branded and I believe the tongs were made for coal use. Weird design being that all 3 pieces are all metal.
