If you are worried about fires, then it would be best to stay away from wooden utensils over an open flame. Stainless steel utensils are typically best for outdoor cooking because they are resistant to rust and can hold up over high heats. Be sure, however, that your cooking gear has rubber handles or be sure to wear gloves because that stainless steel can become hot when used over high temperatures. You will also want to invest in good quality stainless steel products to ensure their durability of use over the flaming temps.
