26" Wood Stove Fire Poker – Forged Steel Loop Handle

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.

26" Wood Stove Fire Poker – Forged Steel Loop Handle

Work in a compact stove opening with a 26-inch fire poker designed for smaller spaces. Its ergonomic loop handle and 90-degree working bend give it a simple shape for shifting logs inside a wood stove. The forged loop also provides a hanging point when the tool is cool.

Compare the tool length with your stove’s door opening and firebox depth. The angled end is for adjusting wood rather than gripping a log. If you want a tool that can hold firewood during placement, choose a separate log grabber or the compact two-tool set.

Materials and finish

Hand-forged steel with a brushed and natural-wax finish.

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.
