If you're working with a standard-size fireplace and they won't be leaving your home, the Perfect CampfireGrill Tweezers and Epica Log Grabbers are two different sizes of a relatively classic design, and they should both hold up very well. You might not realize it, but you actually have quite a few different options when choosing fireplace tongs. While these aren't ideal if you have arthritis or other hand mobility issues, they are an accurate tool capable of lifting dutch oven lids, moving grill grates around, and arranging charcoal, small pieces of kindling, foil-wrapped food, and more. Some find the design a bit awkward, but if you're handling big pieces you'll be thankful you have them.Īlso coming into the fold today are the Apocalypse Chiminea, one of the few one-handed units out there.

These are crafted from aluminum, so they're lightweight despite their size, yet are still strong enough to handle large chunks of wood. Then, there's the Campfire Tongs The Original, a solid option to have on hand for larger fires and outdoor fireplaces and pits. Each of these is just over two feet long, making them best suited to indoor or small fires. We also brought on the Stanbroil Heavy Duty, which are similar to the Epica Log Grabbers except with a sleek stainless steel construction that can complement minimalist and contemporary decors. They are functional and attractive, with three sturdy prongs to give you a reliable grip, a design that hangs easily on brackets or a screen for storage and display, and a graphite finish that gives them a them natural look and added protection from abuse and the elements. You'll notice the Minuteman International Shepherd's joining the ranks today, which, like the Minuteman International Rope, are made from indestructible iron and crafted with a high level of care.

Several of the models here had to be overhauled due to availability issues, and we replaced them all and then topped our selections off with one additional item to bring this list to nine.
