He who can pull Ashcaliber from the clinkers will be the true King. :lol:

My fire stop, (clinker access), was missing the inverted fingers. I think a previous owner destroyed them :evil: so I fabricated a buttress to keep the coal in the pot with a narrow path for knifing the grate and it seems to work well. Ashcalibor might go in but it might not come out!

Mike, I couldn't pass up having some fun with the Arthurian tale of, "The sword in the stone" - or, in this case, "The sword in the stove". :lol:

It's nice to see that everyone is enjoying their new tools. Fyi, Ashcalibur ,and Ash Deystroyer are the same width. Length and tooth count are the only difference. Keep in mind that we can make any size required.

If you 1st inserted a quote Mike, TOTP isn't that annoying. Only when responding to a previous consecutive quote does it apply negatively. And those are the rules. :lol:
And your ashcaliber looks very effective. Presently, I use a 3/8ths flat ended steel rod, that I use to riddle the coal bed through the clinker door. It works pretty good, and when I tilt the end downward, it'll penetrate the grate teeth, and drawcenter slots. I like the CDI idea, and wonder if it would be beneficial to purchase for my application.

Hi joeq! I'll do my best to remember the TOTP rules :lol:

My Ashcalibor works great, as I twist it sinks into the ash bed instantly, I bent one of the old 3' threaded rods into a poker with a 4" 90 at the end I floss with. 'bout 2 minutes in all, then I fill and chill! (warm actually)
