Random thoughts . . .
I'm not much of a poker . . . I tend to live and let live . . . or rather burn and let burn. About the only time I play with the fire is if I need to move the coals around in the firebox to level them out or sift a bit of the ash . . . and when I do so I use a simple fireplace shovel to move things around.
I still have my poker . . . about the only time I use it is when I need to move a split in the firebox that has caught on fire.
