charcoal rake?

[Darko]

I bought this about 5yrs ago at walmart for 5 bucks. All metal construction.

Just the light.

I just bought one like Darko has at Menards for $7 but it has a handle that extends to around 36". I actually bought it for use in the garden. I think there are some plastic parts in the extender so I don't think it would suitable for "hot" use. There were others there with solid handles for less money but I don't recall if the handles were made of wood or metal.

I have my cut off hoe I made ten years ago, I was just thinking the other day it may be time to replace it......

Hands & welding gloves work ok.

I do that too @Darko.

I use a length of 1.5 inch legged angle iron that I had lying around. It works ok and I am too lazy to do more.

My Dad had a length of thin aluminum extrusion. Kinda like 2 inch tall base board.  He bent it into an L shape and used that.  It worked like the thing a croupier uses to rake in the dice on a craps table.

looks like i'm going shopping for a HOE!

great idea grinding the edge down to better match the kettle contour too @Hell Fire Grill - I will try to do the same (assuming my dremel has enough muscle to do it)

I use the Weber ash rake,  it's got a nice length to it and I just leave it hanging off my kettle.

A few weeks ago I saw a shitty katana at a resale shop. Think I could bend the tip into a rake shape?

Make the effort. A katana. If the katana works out it could be the best thing ever. Don't just settle for a cut down hoe. Don't even bother using the katana for the real work of moving coals around - just whip it off your back like Toshiro Mifune and poke around under the grill. The Seven Samurai cookin' up something on the Ranch. Badass.

I use a cut down flat nose shovel. I didn't run across a katana.
