Holy sticks! These things are quality from tip to handle. I was on the fence on ordering these or not, but I am so happy I decided to order a set. When I received the "Sticks" and opened them, I immediately noticed and felt the quality of construction. The quality continued on as I used them recently to roast marshmallows over my Yukon. While the fire was hot, I felt no heat on the handle of the stick. I felt like I could have held the "stick" over the fire for hours and not felt a thing. Another thing I liked about them was when my kids stuck hot dogs onto the "sticks" and put them over the fire, they didn't fall off as the kids tilted the sticks. Once you place the dog onto the stick its not going anywhere until your ready to eat. Love them and I will probably buy another set soon.
