The skewer that takes kebabs seriously.
Round wire skewers are fine for marshmallows. For anything that requires even cooking — meat, fish, vegetables, mixed kebabs — they fall short. Food spins on the wire, cooks unevenly, and slides around. The Bison Skewer was designed to fix that.
Its flat profile prevents rotation: load it with chicken thigh, lamb, peppers, or halloumi, and everything stays exactly where you put it. The barbed arrowhead tines grip food firmly without tearing, so you can turn the skewer in one clean movement without losing a piece of onion to the coals. The large, wide head gives you a positive grip with tongs, making it safe and easy to handle over live fire.
Load it up, cook it over direct heat or coals, and serve it straight to the plate — the Bison Skewer works as a presentation piece as well as a cooking tool. It is also built for Espetada-style vertical cooking: thread your meat on the barbs and hang from a butcher’s hook over the flame for a traditional open-fire cook.

What can I cook on it?

Why choose the Bison Skewer
Most kebab skewers are an afterthought — thin wire, pointed handle, zero grip. The Bison Skewer is a considered tool: flat, wide-headed, barbed, and made from the right steel. For anyone who cooks kebabs regularly it makes a meaningful difference to how the food cooks and how it looks on the plate. If you cook for three or more, the Trio Bison Skewer set is the natural buy.

Used these for the first time last weekend on chicken and halloumi kebabs. The flat profile is genuinely not gimmicky — the food actually rotates with the skewer instead of spinning independently. Cooked the most evenly I ever have with skewers. The barbed tips also stop everything bunching toward the handle. Very well designed.

Great product and super quick and friendly delivery.
Joanne P. (Bison Hill Customer) –
Bought a set for my husband after he complained about his bamboo skewers for approximately the hundredth time. Problem solved immediately. He said the flat design makes an obvious difference to cooking evenness. Also no more pre-soaking. Arrived quickly, looked great.
Mike S. (Bison Hill Customer) –
These are the skewers I’ve been looking for. Flat so food actually turns with them. Heavy enough to handle proper chunks of meat. The hook at the end fits onto my Gaucho D-ring so they hang at my hip between turns instead of sitting on the side table. Buy them.
Diane R. (Bison Hill Customer) –
Got these as part of a gift set for my son’s birthday. He’s really into his BBQ and specifically mentioned wanting better skewers. These got an immediate thumbs up — sent me a photo of his first kebab cook on them. Evenly charred all round apparently. Delighted.
Chris B. (Bison Hill Customer) –
Good weight, good length. The tine detail on the flat blade makes real sense when you’re threading — meat doesn’t slide back off. Clean up easily too.
Amanda L. (Bison Hill Customer) –
Honestly I was buying these as a gift and knew nothing about skewers. Did a bit of reading after ordering and realised flat is genuinely better for even cooking. My partner confirmed this about 30 seconds after his first use. Very pleased.
