Wrought Iron Fireplace Tools

What are all the tools for?

• Stand

  The stand is an essential part of your fireplace tools kit, it's the place where you organize, and proudly display the decorative hand forged tool.

• Pokers

  There are a few brave people who will stick their hands into their fireplace to keep their fire burning warm. You're not one of them, and you shouldn't have to be. Other people will find the cheapest poker they can and try to use it to keep their fireplace working. However, cheaper materials may not more your logs around well enough, ruining the beauty of your fire. They may also create more of a hazard, since they're made of cheaper materials that can break under stress. There's no reason to use inferior equipment when you could have a wrought iron poker. Using an iron poker will keep you and your family safe while keeping your fire looking great.

• Tongs

  Sometimes, a poker won't do the job. There may be that stubborn log that doesn't want to move, or you may need to put it in a tricky place. In those cases, it's helpful to have iron tongs that can move around the logs in a better way than a poker. It can also help you to remove larger pieces of wood once the fire has gone out, further keeping your home and family safe.

• Shovel and Broom

  After the fire has burned down, what do you do with the ash? They are not going to clean themselves up and leaving them there will allow any loose soot to be picked up by the moving air and distributed in unwanted areas. Use an iron shovel and an iron broom to clean up after the fire, it keeps everything looking fresh and clean while lowering your risk of fire hazards. The Shovels are hot riveted and the brooms are hand tied by local broom squires.
