Features

They pack down small and telescope out to 45.5in, which puts you a long way back from the fire.

The tines aren’t too sharp, but they still come with orange tip protectors.

Sturdiness

At the usual roasting-stick length of about 32in, they hold 4 hot dogs without much flex:

Run them all the way out to 45.5in and there’s significantly more flex with the same 4 hot dogs:

Marshmallows are no trouble at any length. The tines are 3.0in apart, so 2 marshmallows fit on each.

Ease of Use

These telescope the most smoothly of any sticks I own, and they hold their extended length firmly.

Both tines go through a hot dog, so nothing slipped even hanging straight down.

Marshmallows slipped a little. You can see the goo. Only 1 tine goes through each one, and the thick tines conduct more heat. Nothing fell in the fire though. The narrower tines on my MalloMe Marshmallow Roasting Sticks go through both sides of a marshmallow, so nothing slips at all.

There’s no rotating axle, but turning the handle works fine, and I saw no spinning on either food.

The tines are semi-sharp, so skewering hot dogs and marshmallows was easy. I’d expect meat to be fine too.

Clean Up

A couple of hours in soapy water left them clean, with no residue or marshmallow goo, and I didn’t even have to scrub.

Quality

The tines are Type 304 stainless steel, which is food grade. I found no rust after soaking mine and leaving them wet.

The handle is rubber with finger indents. I’m not a fan: the indents don’t fit my fingers and the rubber smells slightly, though it’s faint.

Packing the sticks into the pouch is easy and not a tight fit.

Pros and Cons

Now, what are the pros and cons, and would I recommend the Briout Marshmallow Roasting Sticks?

Very inexpensive

For a 10-stick set that holds 4 hot dogs, the price is hard to beat.

Extra long

45.5in extended is the longest of any sticks I own, which is useful on a bigger campfire. There is more flex at that length; longer always means more flex, so keep them at about 32in when you want the sturdiness.

Sturdy and heavy duty

At 32in they take 4 hot dogs with hardly any flex.

The handle isn’t comfortable

The rubber finger indents just don’t fit my fingers.

No color coding

Every handle is the same orange, so there’s no telling yours apart.

The tines splay outwards

Skewering hot dogs left them a bit misshapen. It wasn’t a big deal for me, but it’s worth knowing.

I measured every number on this page myself.
