FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this fire raking tool?
Its primary purpose is to safely push aside and rearrange burning logs, coals, or embers in fires, particularly in pizza ovens, to create space or manage heat distribution.
Can I use this tool for other purposes besides pizza ovens?
Yes, it is suitable for use in wood burners and open fireplaces for managing solid fuel fires.
How long is the handle?
The tool has a length of 64.5cm.
Is the coating on the tool safe for use with food?
The coating is heat-resistant and designed for fire management. While it's non-stick for durability, it's best practice to ensure thorough cleaning after use and avoid direct contact with food.
What happens if I leave the tool outside?
The tool is not weather-resistant and will rust if left outdoors. It should always be stored in a dry, indoor location.
How should I clean the raking tool?
Allow it to cool completely, then wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Does it have a way to be stored easily?
Yes, it features a thread through the handle that allows it to be hung on a wall for convenient storage.
Troubleshooting
Tool is difficult to move through embers.
Ensure the non-stick coating is clean and intact. Allow embers to ash over slightly if they are too actively flaming.
Handle feels hot during use.
While designed for extended reach, always maintain maximum possible distance from the heat source. Ensure the coating is fully intact. If concerned, use heat-resistant gloves.
Rust spots appearing on the tool.
This indicates the tool has been exposed to moisture or left outdoors. Clean off any rust with a soft brush or steel wool (gently), dry thoroughly, and ensure it is stored in a dry, indoor environment. Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to prevent future rusting if this becomes a recurring issue, but ensure it is wiped clean before next use with fire.
