That looks very useful indeed.
You can shave and comb your hair without switching tools.

"Australia's first multi-purpose tool designed specifically for the barbecue - you can't go wrong with the BAR•B MATE!

The Specification
The BAR•B Mate lifts, serves, slices, pierces, and scrapes.

Straight cutting edge and prongs for piercing sausages.

Available at Coles, Woolworths, Metcash, Big W, Bunnings, Masters and selected hardware stores."

The advertising blurb fails to mention the beer bottle opener cutout at the back end.

My tool of choice is the now apparently discontinued, Bar B Boss which is longer, has a few more prongs and the cutting edge is serrated rather than flat, for an all 'round more menacing disposition!
It intimidates meat into throwing itself onto the barbie and cooking itself in double quick time

All hail The Boss!!!!


Though all truth be told, I use BBQ tongs more than this, but it is good for scraping down the hot plate!

I have one, but I have absolutely no idea where it is... The wife put it away after a barbecue, and I can't for the life of me find it!

Is that like a participation trophy?

 

[Biddlin]

I would have participated without the medal.
