what kind of skewers?????

MrsHoward11

okay, so we've decided we are going to have a s'mores table along with the cake. There will be a bonfire at the reception since it could possibly be cold at night.  the issue i just thought of though is that normal 12-inch skewers will be too short.  Where can I get long wooden skewers?? HOpe someone can help!

Try amazon. I found these that are 32", only come 20 in a pack but if you keep searching you may be able to find them cheaper.

Also have 17" ones which are 11.88 for 100 of them. Just make sure you soak the skewers in water before you stick them in the bonfire! : )

thank you so much! I saw the 11 inch ones on amazon when i looked but i think the 32-inch ones would work.  do you think 16-inches would be long enough if I cut them in half?

Can you use wooden/bamboo skewers on an open fire?  I've always used metal ones on a fire and the wooden onles only on a grill.

you can. it's what you use when you go camping. you just have to soak them. Also you have to make sure they are long enough.  I'm going to put them in a glass straw holder (the tall cylindrical ones, not like the ones at mcdonalds). I'll put water in that and they'll soak throughout the reception since the bonfire will be towards the end of the night.
