Key specifications

How to use

Allow embers and ash to cool sufficiently before beginning removal. Hold the wooden handle and position the metal blade under the ash, then scoop and transfer ash into a suitable metal container or ash bucket designed for hot waste. Avoid overfilling the container and keep it on a non-combustible surface. After use, brush loose ash from the blade and store the shovel in a dry place away from direct moisture to prevent corrosion of the metal parts.

Usage recommendations

Use only when ash and embers are cool enough to handle safely; never place hot ash in combustible containers. Wear heat-resistant gloves if working near residual heat, and clean and dry the shovel after use to extend its service life.
