Community Reviews
This stainless steel pig tail flipper is a specialty grilling tool best suited for turning ribs, tri tip, pork butts, and other large cuts that are awkward with tongs. It is praised for giving faster, more controlled flipping and for making bigger pieces easier to handle, especially on a smoker or during searing. The main caveat is that stabbing smaller cuts can squeeze out juices, and the tool may need to be beefier or sturdier for heavy use. A niche but useful grill accessory if you work with larger cuts often.
Common Questions (3)
Yes. It works well for flipping ribs, tri-tip, pork butts, and other large cuts, especially when tongs get awkward on pieces bigger than a steak or chop. It can also make turning larger roasts easier during searing.
For steaks and smaller pieces, tongs are often preferred. For ribs, skirt steak, tri-tip, and other large or awkward cuts, the hook-style flipper can give faster, stronger control than tongs.
It does puncture the meat, so it can squeeze out juices on small cuts. For larger cuts, that concern is less relevant, and some use it alongside thermometers without worrying about meaningful juice loss.

If you cook large chunks of meat on split 55 gallon drums, you might find a tool like this useful. But of course, if you were cooking on something that large, a 12" handle would be grossly undersized.
Face it, this is a tool for a wannabe backyard pellet BBQ'er, which is precisely the market Traeger exploits! BUY 'EM ALL BOYS!!!

That said, I do own several hookers and have used them for steaks a couple of times, but I prefer tongs and even my long cheap ones work for large pork buts. I'll counter the "stab them and let the juices flow out" crowd to say that you are most likely doing that with thermometers anyway. You aren't loosing anything using this tool.

Anyway, every BBQ joint has these. I have a different brand in the same size that is excellent - faster and with more pulling power than tongs - for flash grilling skirt steak.
