Was cooking burgers and dogs yesterday for my little girl's 3rd birthday. Noticed my neighbor coming over thorugh the woods. Didn't seem too odd, but he had something in his hand.
He said, I know you probably get tired of me making noise all the time and I know you grill and cook a lot, so I made you one of these. It was pretty dang cool. Heard of folks using a pig tail flipper before, but never used one. Tried it out tonight on some pork chops and worked like a dream.
Anyone else use one?

What a great neighbor! Very cool gesture of him"The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

Cool neighbor ! I'm fortunate there's only one bad apple in the hood

I've always wondered what he does out there. I knew he made some blacksmith items and sells on Etsy, but didn't know to what extent. I need to ask more questions for sure!------------------------------

Cool story.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

I use a pig flipper regularly. Love the tool.
Yours is just plain awesome! Cool neighbor, cooler gesture.They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin -
There must be some pretty small pigs if that lil thing can flip 'em. Super weird. That's why I like this forum. Embryo pigs? Wonder how they taste.

My neighbor is an a$$. I mean a total pr1ck.
You are lucky you have a cool one.--------------------------------------------------

Sounds like you got lucky with that neighbor.
I would probably spend so much time trying to figure out that tool that I would burn what I was grilling.Marshall in Beautiful Fruit Cove, FL.

I lost my BGE pigtail flipper somewhere. I had a blacksmith make one last October. I posted it somewhere on this forum.

Great jesture. My wife want let me love the neighbor...so I live vicariously thru you
oh and happy birthday to your daughter. See you soon. Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax
Well, I married me a wife, she's been trouble all my life,
Run me out in the cold rain and snow -
Cool story and cool gift. Belated birthday wish to the wee one! I use my pigtail flipper both inside and out! I'm surprised at what an extension of hand it is! BTW want to frustrate a left handed person? Let them try using it! Flipping takes little practice, but to a leftie like my wife the curve is backwards and is awkward to next to impossible to use.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Didnt someone say they were flipping pancakes with theirs?
-
Yup - that's me! It really is much easier than you think. You just are hooking the underneath cooked first side and do a quick flip.Eggscuses said:Didnt someone say they were flipping pancakes with theirs?Re-gasketing America one yard at a time. -
I knew I read that somewhere. Ron what are you cooking the pancakes on ? Griddle, regular pan?
