Donkey Long Tong

The Donkey Long Tong delivers proper long tongs for braai, BBQ and campfire cooking. Handmade in South Africa, it is the perfect tool for anyone who loves good braai, camping and outdoor cooking.

Crafted from 304 food-grade stainless steel, this long tong is built to last through all conditions, demonstrating both durability and resistance to rust.

With a length of 80 centimetres, this extra long tong is ideal for safely handling big logs, mucking around with your campfire, and keeping your hands well clear of the heat for comfort and safety during use.

Why the Donkey Long Tong is built well

The tong features A-grade white oak handles, locally sourced to ensure a classic and natural grip. Treated with Rubio Monocoat, a 0% VOC food-compliant and UV-protected treatment, the wooden handles are not just functional but also aesthetically pleasing with a rich wood finish.

Solid brass rivets secure the oak handles to the tong arms, creating a lifelong bond that is reinforced using a multi-ton press. This strong bond ensures the tongs can handle the heavy-duty work of managing logs and a campfire without compromising on their ability to be used for braai.

How to use these long BBQ tongs

While it is a necessary tool for managing a campfire, the Donkey Long Tong is also perfect for the braai and BBQ lifestyle. Whether you are braaing, BBQing or grilling meats or vegetables, this long BBQ tong provides the versatility you need.

The built-in bottle opener means you can crack a cold one without putting your tongs down, and the generous 80cm reach makes turning food over a roaring fire pit far safer than standard kitchen tongs.

Who it suits

This is a long tong for braai lovers, campers, fire pit owners and anyone who cooks over open flames. If you have been searching for extra long BBQ tongs that look the part and handle real heat, this is the one.

The packaging for the Donkey Long Tong is as considerate as the product itself. With no plastic in sight, the packaging is made of cardboard, sleeved in kraft cards, and wrapped in kraft paper. This provides a full unboxing experience and allows the packaging to be repurposed for safely lighting your fire.

In conclusion, the Donkey Long Tong is a versatile tool that offers more than just a regular pair of tongs. It is a companion for the campfire and the grill, making it an indispensable part of any outdoor experience.
