At Flaming Coals we spend a lot of time around charcoal and rotisseries, and we know exactly what can go wrong when carving gyros. You finally get that perfect mix of crisp edges and juicy centre, the aroma is incredible and the meat is ready to serve. Then the moment you start carving, half your hard-earned gyros drops straight into the fire. It is frustrating, messy and a complete waste of good food.

We built the Flaming Coals Gyros Shovel to fix that problem once and for all. This tool is simple, strong and purpose-built to catch every slice as you carve, which keeps your meat out of the charcoal and on the plate where it belongs.

Why We Created The Gyros Shovel

Our team cooks gyros regularly, so we know the challenges firsthand. Traditional trays heat up quickly over charcoal, which makes them hard to hold. Bowls are awkward to position under the meat. Baking trays are too flat, which means slices slide straight off the side.

We wanted something safer, sturdier and shaped specifically for gyros. The shovel follows the natural curve of the gyros stack, so every cut falls neatly into the catching pan. The wooden handle stays cool even when carving close to the coals, which gives you proper control without burnt fingers. When you are ready to serve, tip the meat straight onto your platter. It is fast, tidy and stress-free.

More Than A Carving Tool

The Gyros Shovel also doubles as a finishing pan. In the product demonstration, you will see that if you slice a piece that is still a little pink, you can drop it straight into the shovel and place it over the charcoal. Give it a quick toss with your tongs, and it finishes cooking in seconds. It is a small feature that adds a massive amount of convenience, especially when cooking for a crowd.

Built To Handle Real Heat

As manufacturers, we insist our accessories stand up to heavy charcoal cooking. The 304 stainless steel body is strong, corrosion-resistant and easy to clean. The timber handle sits comfortably in the hand and gives you the reach you need around the spit. The size and depth of the shovel are designed to hold a generous amount of gyros without spilling, which keeps your cooking station clean and your food secure.
