Charcoal Tool

[ClubChapin]

Does anyone have a favorite tool for moving lit charcoal around in the kettle?

How about a favorite Grate lifter, for lifting a hot and laden grate?

Thanks, Pete

I use my long tongs for moving charcoal or lump around (if i have to)and just wipe them off with my 10% bleach solution that I use when grilling. I use welding gloves when I move racks or moving the coals around.

for grates.

I use fireplace rake to move or shovel the coals around, cost $2

And a Dutch oven lid lifter for the grate

I have a little shovel that I use.

dealing with spent ash ---

I am in need of a real solution as well for my small grills that lack a removable ash pan (Smokey Joe) or have one removes but is so stupidly inconvenient to do so that I no longer attempt it (Smokey Joe Platinum).

I'm considering this "multi-purpose tool" for that. http://www.amazon.com/Broil-King-KA5527-Multi-Purpose-Tool/dp/B006QY9BJ0/ref=pd_sim_lg_38?ie=UTF8&refRID=0DBZHDRH8BA3BMSAFTK4 Might also double as a great lifter. I have a DO lid lifter. Haven't tried it on grates yet.

For tongs (charcoal movers ...) , nothing beats a good 16" that doesn't wobble.

I use an old spatula to move the coals around, and a weber grilling mit and spatula to move the grate.

I have an old garden hoe I cut the handle down on, it works perfect for shifting around coals

Coals = Old Spatula
Hot grates = Welding gloves

Tongs for coals and leather gloves for grates and charcoal out of the bag.

Coals: I use my coal tongs

Hot Grate: Either Weber gloves or Ove Gloves..

Removing ash.... Since I am an 80 percent daisy wheeler and 20 percent One Toucher, I either dump my ash into my large bucket or I use my Weber WSM shovel. Works great with the Daisy kettles..
