Best Sticks For Cooking Over Campfire?

[longislandcampe]

A few years ago a friend bought us some metal telescoping sticks for cooking over a fire. They collapsed to about 8" and extended up to about 2' and they had two prongs on the end to secure your food better. No one has seen them in years and we have no idea where they went.

I'm looking for good sticks to use now. Should I look into those cheap wooden ones that usually come in a S'mores kit? I found a pack of 100 sticks for about $30. Are the metal telescoping ones better? One prong? Two prongs?

These would basically only be used for marshmallows and hot dogs. Perhaps kebabs later on.

Any suggestions?

We purchased a 4 pack of 36" hot dog stakes from Wally World three ago and still are in good shape. I think we paid $6 for them.

Like this, maybe? Original Pocket Roaster 36" My supplier sent me a bunch of these and I liked them well enough to grab a couple for myself. They seem much more sturdy, and collapse to a much smaller size, than the wire forks I've been using.

They were selling the collapsing ones at Dollar General Store in my location. I saw them two days ago.

Every year someone makes hot dog sticks from poison oak. Not pretty....

We quit using the telescoping ones. They were just too flimsey. We use the non-telescoping, hotdog sticks you can purchase at any Wall Mart in the camping section. Much more sturdy.

You should be able to find the telescoping one at any sporting goods store, like Cabelas, Dicks, etc. I would think Wall Mart still has them, although I haven't looked to purchase any in a while.
