Ash rake?

[tickbitty]

THx golf! OK, that's funny about your fire dragon thing because I just now started a fire from last night's coals by blowing on it just to see if I could do it. (so by some estimations, that's a 24 hr burn, right?) lol.
But anyway... will probably get a rake soon, but I am very intrigued by the fire dragon. Unfortunately I am way too cheap to spend $40 on it though. Wonder what I can find that might work... hmmmm.

Cool! Looks like something out of one of my kid's story books! I may have a blacksmith make one for me. I was wondering if it would be good to do a two sided one, one side with teeth or flip it and the other side is flat.

I bought a ash shovel at HD and Drilled a ton of 1/2" holes in the business end and trimmed the handle.

Basically its a metal cat box scopper!
Works great for sifting/seperating the coles from the ash.

Here is the one I made out of spatula that was made for an outdoor grill with a golf club grip on it. Just cut the bottom off it to expose the teeth then bent it in the vice by 90 degrees. I use it more than any tool I have. The handle could be a little longer when the stove is real hot. Then I use the the welder gloves.
