DONKEY COMBO | FIRE + FOOD
Donkey Combo | Long Tong + Grill Tong Set
One for the fire. One for the food. Apparently one Donkey wasn't enough.
The Donkey Combo gives you both tools in the Donkey lineup: the 32" / 80 cm Donkey Long Tong for managing logs, coals and flames, plus the 27" / 69 cm Donkey Tong for flipping steaks, burgers and everything else you're actually planning to eat.
Both are handmade in South Africa using 304 food-grade stainless steel, white oak, solid brass rivets and spring stainless steel.
And yes, both have bottle openers. Because buying the set should come with redundancy where it matters.
TWO JOBS. TWO TOOLS.
Fire and Food Shouldn't Share the Same Job Description.
Donkey doesn't make two lengths just because somebody got carried away with a tape measure.
The 32" Donkey Long Tong is designed for fire management, with a shell-shaped serrated head that grips logs and coals.
The 27" Donkey Tong uses a different head designed to grip and flip meat cleanly without piercing or tearing it.
One manages the fire. One handles dinner. The Combo gives you both.
MEET THE HERD
Two Donkeys. Very Different Responsibilities.
THE FIRE MASTER
Donkey Long Tong
32" / 80 cm
Built to move logs, reposition coals and manage flames while keeping you farther away from serious heat.
- Serrated shell-style fire head
- Designed for logs and coals
- Fire pits, smokers and braais
- Built-in bottle opener
THE GRILL MASTER
Donkey Tong
27" / 69 cm
Designed to grip and flip steaks, burgers, ribs and other food without using the aggressive fire-gripping head.
- Food-friendly tong head
- Designed for flipping meat
- BBQs, grills, smokers and braais
- Built-in bottle opener
SAME DONKEY DNA
Handmade From Materials That Are Supposed to Last.
304 Food-Grade Stainless Steel
Corrosion-resistant stainless steel forms the working body and tong heads on both tools.
White Oak Handles
Real white-oak handles give both Donkeys their distinctive grip and handcrafted feel.
Solid Brass Rivets
Brass hardware adds strength and a premium detail to the construction.
301 Spring Stainless Steel
Spring stainless steel gives both tools the strong return action Donkey calls the Donkey's kick.
Two Bottle Openers
Each tong includes its own 3 mm stainless bottle opener. One would probably have been enough, but that's not really the spirit of the Combo.
Sliding Locks
Both tongs lock closed for easier storage and transport.
THE DETAILS
White Oak. Brass. Stainless. Bottle Opener.
Both tools in the Donkey Combo share the same core materials and construction details.

WHAT'S IN THE COMBO
The Complete Donkey Setup.
1 × Donkey Long Tong
32" / 80 cm fire-management tong for logs, coals and flames.
1 × Donkey Tong
27" / 69 cm grill tong for handling steaks, burgers and food.
A VERY GOOD GIFT
Two Handmade Tongs. Already Wrapped.
Donkey packages each tong separately, wrapped and ready for gifting.
Which is useful, because explaining why you've bought someone two unusually large pairs of tongs is easier once they see the packaging.
For campers, backyard cooks, fire-pit owners and BBQ people who already seem to own everything, the Combo is a particularly good answer.

CARE FOR THE HERD
Warm Water. Soap. Elbow Grease.
Donkey recommends cleaning the working heads with warm water and dishwashing liquid, followed by a scrub when required.
Dry them properly afterwards and the stainless and wood construction should stay looking good for years.
Do not put them in the dishwasher. Mostly because they won't fit.

THE CAP-IT TAKE
This Is Probably the Correct Number of Donkeys.
The Long Tong makes perfect sense once you're standing beside a serious fire.
The shorter Donkey Tong makes perfect sense once there's food on the grill.
Buying one and then trying to make it do both jobs works, but it misses the point. The heads are different because the jobs are different.
The Combo solves that problem neatly, and it also happens to make one of the better gifts in the store.
One for the fire. One for dinner. Two bottle openers. We don't see much room for improvement.
