A fireplace poker is a long, slender tool used to manage and tend to a fire in a fireplace. Typically made of metal, it features a pointed end for moving logs and a handle for easy gripping. This tool helps maintain the fire by rearranging burning wood and adding new pieces as needed. Fireplace pokers are often part of a set that may include other tools like a fireplace shovel, tongs, and a brush. They come in various designs and materials, allowing homeowners to choose one that complements their fireplace and home decor.
