The Perfect Poker - Fireplace Tools

A fireplace poker, in it's basic definition, is a long rod used to help rearrange wood in a fireplace without burning your hands.

No matter how well you arrange your wood to get the fire started, once the bottom pieces of wood start to burn away, the top pieces will generally fall. To ensure the best fire possible, a fireplace poker can be used to rearrange the wood that fell. The following paragraphs will discuss some ways to find the perfect poker for you!

The size of your fireplace is one of the first things you want to consider when trying to find the perfect poker. For example, if your fireplace is large, you would want to find a longer poker, so the heat from the fire and coals won't burn your skin as you are trying to rearrange your wood. For a smaller fireplace, a shorter poker may be the perfect poker for you. If you try to use a longer poker for a smaller fireplace, it could be awkward, and cause rearranging the wood to be a more difficult task. In order for your poker to be perfect, it needs to be just long enough to prevent the heat from burning your skin. Anything longer can be awkward and hard to use, while anything shorter can cause you to be burned.

Next, when trying to find the perfect poker, you should have in mind the hook located at the end of most fireplace pokers. Again, this usually falls back on the size of your fireplace, and the size of the fires you normally make. For larger fireplaces, with larger fires, a double hooked fireplace poker may be perfect. But if you normally make small fires, one hook at the end of your poker should suit you perfectly!

When trying to determine which fireplace poker is perfect for you, there are a lot of things to take into consideration. The size of your fireplace should be one of the first things to consider. The size of your fireplace is the key factor in finding the perfect poker.
