22" Hand-Forged Mini Log Grabber for Wood Stoves

Wicks Forge was founded by Nicholas Wicks Moreau, who dates the forge’s beginnings to 2013 after an online launch in October 2012. Its current business address is Salem, New York, and its team also has roots in Maine. Moreau began with inherited family tools after a blacksmithing apprenticeship in Scotland. The company makes useful everyday metalwork, values accessible craftsmanship and honors the blacksmith’s tradition of community service.

22" Hand-Forged Mini Log Grabber for Wood Stoves

Grip and reposition firewood with a compact log grabber made for wood stoves and smaller fireplaces. Its three contact points help hold the log while you move it, and the riveted joint connects the forged steel sections. The 22-inch length offers a smaller alternative to a full-size hearth tong.

Check the stove opening, firebox depth and the weight you are comfortable handling before choosing a tool. This listing contains the mini grabber only. A separate fire poker is useful for fine adjustments after a log has been placed.

Materials and finish

Solid steel with a riveted joint. Exact steel grade and finish composition are not specified.

Hand-forging can create small differences in surface texture, shape and dimensions. Measurements are approximate rather than precision-machined tolerances. Keep the protective surface maintained so the metal stays ready for its intended use.

Care and use

Let the tool cool before cleaning or storing it. Wipe it dry and keep it indoors or in a sheltered, dry place between uses. Steel can develop surface rust when exposed to moisture. Remove light rust with a suitable scouring pad or brush, then apply a thin protective oil layer to cool, cleaned metal. Keep any oil or refinishing product away from open flames and follow its instructions.

Use the tool only where you can work comfortably without reaching into flames. A fire poker or grabber does not replace the stove or fireplace maker’s operating instructions. Store cooled tools where they cannot be knocked over. For additional guidance, review U.S. Fire Administration fireplace and wood-stove guidance.
