These sticks are perfect. Especially if you have the  shield accessory. with this accessory you just rest the stick in the slot and rotate. The sticks are truly durable and extremely well made. I cooked six foot long hot dogs in a row and felt absolutely no heat in the handle (being stainless steel I was concerned about heat transfer because I have young children). The best thing about these sticks though is that you can cook anything you can skewer. You wont find a better, more versatile tool to cook over an open flame with.
