I haven’t seen any discussion about this so I thought I’d bring it up…
What kind of tools do you OWB owners use to play around with in the firebox? I inherited an old hoe and steel rake (both with wood handles) when we moved into the house. The former owner was using them in the OWB, so I did the same. It wasn’t too long before the hoe end fell right off, leaving a curved metal “hook” at the end of the pole. That simple metal hook turned out to be the best tool I could ask for to move wood around with in the firebox. Too bad the hook finally dropped off a couple weeks ago. I’m finding a lot of stuff for sale has fiberglass handles, but I found a few tools on this website that look like they might do the trick.
