However, I found that tongs bring little hands too close to the flames and the heat, so a nice 3- or 4-foot stick, or even those special forks for campfire cooking, are a better option.

I found most grocery stores only carry the side-open or American-style buns, but we were able to find uncut buns at a local bakery and cut them as we wanted.
