Fire management is an important part of wood-fired cooking. As logs burn down and new wood is added, you may need to reposition individual pieces to maintain the fire arrangement required for your cooking session.
The WPPO Forged Steel Wood Pliers give you a dedicated gripping tool for handling and repositioning wood. Unlike a coal rake, which is useful for pushing and arranging embers or fuel, pliers provide direct gripping control when you need to move an individual piece of wood more precisely.
Who’s This For?- Wood-fired pizza oven owners who regularly need to reposition individual pieces of wood while maintaining a live fire.
- Outdoor cooking enthusiasts looking for a dedicated tool instead of using pizza peels or other cooking utensils for fire management.
- Backyard entertainers who run longer wood-fired cooking sessions and need practical tools for maintaining the fire.
- Outdoor kitchen owners building a complete collection of purpose-specific wood-fired oven accessories.
- Use the pliers when you need to grip and reposition an individual piece of wood rather than pushing fuel around with a pizza peel.
- Plan your fire placement before cooking so fewer adjustments are needed once the oven reaches intense temperatures.
- Keep a coal rake nearby for moving embers and a pair of wood pliers for gripping individual pieces of fuel.
- Always use appropriate heat-resistant protection and safe fire-handling practices when working around burning wood, sparks, embers, and hot oven surfaces.
- Allow the steel tool to cool appropriately after use before handling, cleaning, or storing it.
What are WPPO Forged Steel Wood Pliers used for?
The pliers are designed for gripping and repositioning wood in outdoor wood-fired ovens. They provide a dedicated tool for making more controlled adjustments to individual pieces of fuel while managing a live fire.
How long are the WPPO Forged Steel Wood Pliers?
The supplied dimensions are 23 inches by 5 inches by 1 inch. The extended design helps provide additional reach when working around the intense heat of a wood-fired oven.
What are the WPPO Wood Pliers made from?
The supplied product specifications state that the pliers are made from 100% steel.
Do the WPPO Wood Pliers have rubber handles?
Yes. The pliers feature rubber handles designed to provide a comfortable gripping surface while using the tool.
Can I use these pliers to move burning wood in a pizza oven?
Yes. The pliers are specifically designed for handling and repositioning wood in outdoor wood-fired ovens. Always use appropriate heat protection and follow safe fire-management practices when working around burning fuel.
What is the difference between wood pliers and a coal rake?
Wood pliers provide a gripping action that is useful when you want to pick up or precisely reposition an individual piece of wood. A coal rake is generally better suited to pushing, gathering, and arranging embers, coals, or fuel within the oven.
Do the rubber handles make the pliers heatproof?
No. Rubber handles should not be assumed to make the tool or your hands completely protected from the extreme heat of a wood-fired oven. Radiant heat, flames, sparks, hot metal, and burning wood remain hazardous, so appropriate heat-resistant protection and safe handling practices are still required.
Why use dedicated wood pliers for a wood-fired oven?
A dedicated pair of wood pliers gives you more precise gripping control when repositioning individual pieces of fuel. It also helps keep pizza peels and food-handling utensils reserved for their intended cooking tasks.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
