Grill Shield

Good idea.

From the website:

Grill Shield

This ingenious little stainless steel device lets you barbecue with wood or bamboo skewers without fear of burning them.

The food rests on the grill while the exposed ends of the skewers are lifted away from the heat, remaining cool to the touch.

Dishwasher safe [not the skewers — the Grill Shield. Sheesh].

Accommodates skewers from 6" to 18".

Flautist, we'll throw in the kabobs and sticks for you — everyone else, you're on your own.
