Well, I don't have a fork specifically made for grill use. It's similar to
the photo Chris Marksberry provided a link for. It's just a longer
two-pronged fork that I use for slicing meat and stabbing at stuff to test
for doneness. Mine is different, though, in that it doesn't have a wooden
handle. It's quite possibly Bakelite. I've had it at least 25 years.
