Ash Shovel for Wood Stove

Whether you have a wood stove or a fireplace, cleaning the ash out is something we all have to do, and what better way to do that than with a hand-forged ash shovel?

The handle is made of 3/8″ mild steel and 16 gauge sheet metal for the ash pan. The handle is attached with 2 hand-forged rivets to secure it in place.

Shovel pan measures 5″ wide and 6 1/2″ deep making it a great size for cleaning out your fireplace or wood stove.

Length is approximately 28″, so long enough for what you need without being too long.

Twist

I put a twist in the center of the ash shovel, or no twist if you prefer. Below are the twist options and you can check the pictures for reference.

• No Twist – No twist is done to the center of the fire poker and it remains square.
• Plain – A plain twist is the fire poker twisted to give a classic look.
• Veined – This twist is done with all 4 sides chiseled first and then twisted to give a veined look which adds depth.
• Reverse – A reverse twist is like a plain twist only that the twist continues back and forth in opposing directions. It’s kind of mesmerizing.
• Stair – The stair twist is done by chiseling a line on all 4 sides and cutting in cubes on two opposing corners. It’s then twisted to give the look of a spiral staircase.
