Troubleshooting
Poker is difficult to move logs with.
Ensure the tip is properly engaged with the log. For stubborn logs, try piercing the wood slightly or using the poker to lever it from a more stable point.
Handle feels hot after use.
Allow the poker to cool down completely before picking it up by the handle. Ensure you are holding the handle area and not inadvertently touching the shaft near the fire.
Ash buildup on the tip.
Tap the poker gently against the grate or hearth to dislodge excess ash. A stiff brush can also be used once the poker has cooled.
Poker appears to be rusting.
Rust can occur if the poker is left in a damp environment. Ensure it is stored in a dry place. Light rust can be removed with fine steel wool, followed by a light coating of cooking oil and ensuring it is thoroughly dried.
