ABSTRACT:
A barbeque fork comprises a base or handle, tines, biasing rod, at least one guide for supporting and sliding the rod and a cross-brace or bracket, wherein the rod is supported over and along the top surface of the handle by preferably two guides, the guides projecting outward from the handle and each defining apertures for receiving and guiding the rod when sliding it over the handle. One end of the rod is terminated by a stop or cap that prevents the rod from passing completely through the guides. The cross-brace is diametrically positioned at the opposite end of the rod and engages the food items when the rod is slid forward to support or remove the food items. In an alternative embodiment, the barbeque fork includes a thermometer device for reading the temperature of food items.
