I did something stupid and broke my special lid lifter for our wood cookstove this morning. I can't find another on the internet any ideas where to get one?

It is regular lid lifter but has an arm on each side. It lets you pick up two kids and a middle section at once to load wood. Its awfully annoying loading wood without it.

This might take some improvisation. Maybe a welder could rig you up a new wing and weld it to the handle?
 
Take it to a garage shop welder. Ask your local mechanic where they would go.

Likely will cost you <$20 and you get to know your local welder. :)

Regular lid lifters are easy to find. The wings on the OP's are unusual. Still it wouldn't take long to weld up a spare using a regular lid lifter and a little 3/8" rod.
