The Master of Fire
The Donkey Long Tong 32″ is the original: the handmade fire tong made in South Africa that gave the brand its name. Its shell-shaped head with serrated edges firmly grips logs, embers, and charcoal. Measuring 81 cm, it lets you rearrange your bed of embers, move a hot grill, or stoke the fire without burning your forearms—all while sitting in your chair if you need to.
Materials chosen to last a lifetime
- 304 food-grade stainless steel, corrosion-resistant
- White oak handles, treated with ProNature wood treatment (0% VOC, certified for food contact)
- Solid brass rivets
- 301 stainless steel spring for crisp, precise return—the famous “shoe-kick” effect
- Built-in 3 mm stainless steel bottle opener
For all your lighting needs
Open fires, braziers, smokehouses, wood-fired pizza ovens, campfires: this is where it shines. It’s also perfect for managing the fire in a Braaimaster, a charcoal kettle, or a Big Green Egg. To flip meat and vegetables, opt for its little sister, the Donkey Tong 27″, designed specifically for food.

Interview
Hot water, dish soap, and a scrubby sponge: that's all it takes. Dry it thoroughly, and it'll stay like new for years. It's a tool you don't replace—you pass it down.
