This isn’t built for shelf life. It’s made to live in the fire. To be used and used again. Built for firepits, wood-fired hot tubs, and ground fires, it reaches where others can’t.
This is a tong you don’t replace. You inherit, pass down, and keep it close to the flames.
When your tong comes out, people notice. With personalisation, you make sure that story starts with your name. This is your signature by the fire.
Strong enough to steady a grid and take the heat when the fire runs hot. This is a working tool, designed to support the fire.
Hand-wrapped, hand-boxed, and treated with care from the workshop to your hands.
FAQs about the donkey long tong
Yes, and that’s exactly what it was built for - managing all types of fires. It is our fire tong. The 80cm reach makes it perfect for firepits, built-in braais, wood-fired hot tubs, and wood-fired pizza ovens. It grips wood, moves coals and handles flames without you having to get too close to the heat. No burnt hands, no bent backs, no smoke in the eyes. Can be used to manage fires with Webers and Big Green Eggs too.
The Donkey Long Tong 80cm is for fire. The shell-shaped head is perfect for gripping wood and coals securely. The serrated edges are known for breaking your boeries and cutting meat when turning, so while it is made from food-safe 304 stainless steel, its real job is fire management. For food and grilling, use the Donkey Tong 69cm.
If you enjoy making a real fire with wood, then you need a Donkey Long Tong 80cm. It gives you distance from intense heat, better control over your coals and fewer burnt forearms (and beer bellies). It’s especially useful for ground fires when you go camping.
Yes, it’s packaged and ready to impress. We use a special handwrapping technique that will score you some serious brownie points.
Please note: the courier waybill is stuck to the outer packaging. If you’re sending it directly as a gift and don’t want the shipping label visible, leave us a note at checkout and we’ll double wrap it for you.
Yes. We offer standard typed engraving for an additional R200 and a custom handwritten engraving option for an additional R300.

Contact us for any corporate gifting solutions.
Warm water, dishwashing soap and a good scrub. Nothing works better than elbow grease. These are built like Donkeys. Durable, hardworking and reliable. In other words, quite low maintenance. Dry it properly afterwards and it’ll stay looking like new for years.
Unfortunately, our Donkeys are not dishwasher safe, mainly because they won’t fit.
