A fireplace poker is a long, slender tool used to manage and manipulate burning logs in a fireplace. Typically made of metal, it helps to safely reposition wood, add fuel, or stir the embers to maintain a steady fire. The poker often features a pointed end for poking and a handle for a secure grip. Fireplace pokers come in various designs and lengths, allowing users to choose one that fits their fireplace size and style. They are commonly part of a fireplace tool set, which may also include a shovel, brush, and tongs for complete fire management.
