I've had luck searching eBay - even found handles that some of the stove shops didn't have.gardener wrote: ↑Wed. Mar. 17, 2021 1:37 pmDid this stove model have a dedicated shaker handle?
The handle of the grate is rounded over on the top two edges for releasing the grate pattern out of the sand.
I have tried using pliers without success. Going to try locking pliers once I remember where I put the two I have.
Have been thinking of cutting a washer to key to the end of the grate handle then weld a rod to the washer, sort of like this tool I saw on Woodman's parts

Anyone have better ideas?
What do people normally do when they don't have a shaker handle (for whatever stove model)?
thanks
But a handle socket like that should be easy to make by drilling a hole in some bar stock and then use a triangular file to shape the two 90 degree corners for a nice snug fit with maximum contact on the grate shaft.
The 6 point socket having less contact area and no 90 degree corners may eventually chew off those two grate shaft corners, then your sunk !
