Gozney Professional Open-Fire Tongs are designed for those who enjoy directly controlling a wood- or charcoal-fired cookery setup. These barbecue tongs are specifically designed to work around an intense fire and manoeuvre the fuel with precision.
Their extra-long design combines a robust construction with control-oriented features, such as serrated tips. The result is a tool that allows you to manage the fire without resorting to conventional kitchen tongs when it comes to rearranging charcoal or logs.
Gozney has also designed them to integrate naturally into open-fire cooking, allowing you to switch from managing the fuel to working around the oven using a single tool.
49.6 cm
Measuring 496 mm in length, these tongs feature a deliberately elongated design. Gozney explains that this configuration helps keep your hands away from intense heat when working directly over the fire.
This distance is particularly useful when you need to reach into a hot area to reposition the fuel. Rather than getting unnecessarily close to the embers, the tool’s length allows you to work from a safer distance.
It is a simple but crucial feature for those who regularly handle firewood or charcoal and want long barbecue tongs designed from the outset for cooking over an open flame.
Firm grip
The ends feature serrated tips, a design detail intended to provide a firm grip on fuel such as charcoal or logs. The aim is to have greater control precisely where the tongs come into contact with the material.
This allows you to reposition the fuel when you need to concentrate or redistribute the heat, holding each piece with a tool specifically developed for that task.
For anyone adjusting the fire whilst cooking, the serrated tips turn an everyday action — moving a piece of charcoal or repositioning a log — into a more precise and controlled manoeuvre.
304 stainless steel
Gozney manufactures the Live-Fire Tongs from 304 stainless steel. This is the material specified by the brand for a tool designed for direct use in cooking sessions over an open flame.
The metal construction extends to a design measuring almost half a metre, creating a tool that is clearly distinct from the small tongs intended solely for serving or light kitchen tasks.
Thus, the choice of material forms part of a design conceived for those seeking a specific tool to manage fuel and work effectively around an open-flame cooking area.
Robust construction
Gozney itself describes these tongs as extra-long and heavy-duty, specifically designed to grip and handle fuels such as firewood and charcoal.
This approach makes sense when the fire needs minor adjustments whilst cooking: to bring a piece of fuel closer, remove it or reposition it to continue managing the fire area without using a generic tool.
They are, therefore, tongs for embers and fuel aimed at users who actively work with fire and want a tool designed specifically for that environment.
From fuel to the oven with control
The Live-Fire Tongs have been developed to move from handling fuel to working around the oven. They are not merely intended as a tool for moving coal, but as part of the normal workflow of a kitchen based on an open fire.
During a session using firewood or charcoal, this allows you to keep the same tool to hand whilst organising and readjusting the fire as required for cooking.
For users who enjoy working directly with the embers, this continuity means the tongs fit naturally amongst the utensils used for manual fire control.
