Barbecue skewers and BBQ grill baskets are both essential pieces of equipment for easy handling of meat when grilling. We can split the types of barbecue skewers into two fundamentals, wooden (bamboo) skewers and metal ones. Metal ones however can then be broken out into further varieties such as flexible "fire wires" vertical sets (Gaucho & Espetada), flat & dual pronged (Churrasco) and Seekh kebab skewers. You can even buy skewers specially designed for hot dogs and marshmallows. It really isn't a question of "either / or", it's more "how and what" you plan to cook as each type has it's own place and it also depends on the type of grill that you have got. For example, metal barbecue skewers are generally longer than bamboo skewers and have a "handle" of some sorts to them. This makes metal great if you're grilling "open top" but if you have a grill with a lid (or a kamado) then cooking with metal skewers isn't going to work.

Shorter bamboo barbecue skewers that you can turn with a set of tongs are perfect. Soak them for 30 minutes before cooking otherwise they will burn on the grill. Generally bamboo skewers are not very long so you’ll have to turn the kebab with tongs. They are disposable which means I always run out of them! I keep a set of metal ones too. Because they are not very long, bamboo barbecue skewers are ideal for when you are planning to grill on a barbecue that has a lid. Despite being thin, bamboo BBQ skewers have a "friction" with the food so generally the food stays well on the skewer provided you keep the pieces of meat or veg to no more than 1 inch cubes. 1. The Primo Oval has a firebox divider that allows you to only cook on one half of the grill, this leaves the other half as a cool area for your skewer handles. If you really don't want bamboo barbecue skewers and want to use a metal skewer one a grill with a lid then the "fire wire" is the answer. Thread your food onto the skewer and when complete, loop the tip of the skewer through the other end to create what looks like a lasso.
