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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e54\" Beast Fire Pit Poker – Extra-Long Forged Steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReach across a larger fire pit with the extra-long Beast poker. The 4.5-foot tool uses an L-shaped working end to poke or pull logs, offset 90 degrees from the handle. Its length is the main distinction from the shorter fireplace and wood-stove tools in this collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure your storage area before choosing a tool of this length. The long shaft is intended for a fire pit rather than a small stove opening. It is a poker for repositioning firewood, not a lifting tong or a cooking utensil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompare \u003ca href=\"\/products\/fire-stick-fire-poker\"\u003e36\" Fire Stick Fire Poker\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/fireplace-tongs\"\u003e33\" Fireplace Tongs\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- BA:PRODUCT-DETAILS:END --\u003e\u003c!-- BA:FEATURES:START --\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.5-foot overall length, equivalent to 54 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL-shaped working end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking end offset 90 degrees from the handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for fire-pit use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!-- BA:FEATURES:END --\u003e\u003c!-- BA:SPECIFICATIONS:START --\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCountry of manufacture\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 4.5 ft \/ 54\" long\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eIncluded\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 tool\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping for this tool\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis item normally dispatches within 1–4 business days under the supplier’s shipping policy; transit time is additional.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse 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.
