It’s 2019, and we  finally figured out tongs.

Just in time for warm weather and summer grilling, KUDU’s Coal Claws use a clamp construction and an extended length to keep your hands away from burning coals while still providing a sturdy grasp. The stainless steel tongs are also colorful, arriving in both green/silver and red/silver combos.

Everything KUDU makes is inspired by the South African tradition of open-flame barbecues (braais). That’s best represented by the brand’s portable, open-flame cooker, which doubles as a smoker and features a built-in cast-iron skillet. The elevation bars on those means you can cook multiple items at once and saute, sear, fry, smoke, steam or generally heat up your meat and veggies however you want.
