Clean your Paddle.
Your Paddle will collect flakes of ash from the fire. A simple wipe with a wet cloth and some Leather food/wax will keep your leather fresh and ready for the next fire.
Made to stay by the flames even after your great grandkids have made countless fires with it.
We stitch our paddles with Kevlar instead of cotton. Kevlar has a higher burning threshold which means it doesn’t fray over time. That means it gets to live by the fire for generations.
The paddle is designed to feed the fire. A few fun and deliberate flicks is all it takes to get stronger flames and more heat.
This ergonomical design allows you to whip air back and forth without tiring out your arm. We say it’s the second most fun you can have with the flick of your wrist.
Carefully boxed and wrapped before it leaves the Barn. Because even the toughest fire tools deserve to arrive with care.
Let customers speak for us
Beautifully made, very strong and sturdy. I bought these for our fire pit. It's so nice to be able to sit in a chair and tend the fire rather than having to be within burning distance with our old bbq tongs. They operate smoothly, and the whole group loved them. Expensive, but I think well worth it if you use a fire pit or bbq often.
Love my 27” Donkey Tongs. I use them to place wood splits onto the fire in my grill. Also use for flipping meat as well. Great product. I have the 32” but the 27” is perfect size for most everything.
Awesome absolutely love them ❤️
I did not order them for myself. I gave them as Christmas gifts. They LOVED it! I did not put it on my wish list, but I thought Mrs. Clause would have realized I wanted one. so, I will have to treat myself. thanks for making a great pair of tongs.
These are amazing!
Love them! Have an extra-large cooker and they help keep my arms away from the heat. Nice and sturdy also.
Great customer service.
The care in the packaging alone is worth the price of admission. Well done on a superior quality product. Thank you, I am looking forward to many many years of use.
Very high quality built and very sturdy!!
Great customer service!!
If you’re on the fence, stop wasting time and buy the tongs! Best accidental discovery I’ve made in a long time. Not only are the tongue super high-quality but the customer service is out of this world. I’d buy them again just for the guys who make them because they really do go above and beyond and that’s hard to find these days. And the tongs are exceptional quality. I can reach everything now. 😂😂
Awesome tongs! Been looking for something this strong for years and these are perfect. Very well made, solid and work great for turning food and/or for moving wood.charcoal. Got permanent home in our camper trailer.
Absolutely life altering tool for offset fire management. Goodbye shovel. This well constructed tool allows precision placement of sticks in the fire . The extra long length keeps you out of the heat when it's time to rearrange the coal bed . Bravo !
FAQS ABOUT THE PADDLE
The Paddle is made from spring steel laminated in genuine leather and stitched with fire-resistant Kevlar. We don’t use cotton stitching because it would fray and burn. Kevlar has a high burn threshold, meaning it can handle serious heat. That said, like any tool, don’t leave it sitting in the flames.
Use it when your fire needs big gusts of air. If your coals are fading or you need to quickly build heat, a few strong flicks will feed oxygen into the fire and wake it up.
It's ideal for getting a campfire going, reviving a dying BBQ, quickly building heat in a firepit, or waking up a wood-fired pizza oven.
Yes, it’s packaged and ready to impress on arrival! We use a special handwrapping technique that will score you some serious brownie points.
We pride ourselves on fast fulfillment and proper communication. Orders are processed quickly, and you’ll receive tracking details as soon as your Donkey is on the move. Contact us for an emergency tong order.
Wipe it down with a damp cloth. Occasionally, use leather food or wax to keep the leather conditioned and ready for many fires to come.
