Keeping your fireplace clean is essential for regular usage. Our Long Hooked Fireside Shovel helps you manage ashes and coals, even if they are still hot. Every hearth needs a good shovel to help prevent ash buildup. Preventing ash buildup helps to keep your home clean, and allows more oxygen to feed the fire, resulting in a warmer, brighter burn. This hearth shovel has a balanced and substantial heft, and its generous length is perfect for larger fire places or outdoor fire pits. Hooked handle allows you to hang it near your hearth or fire pit.
