Outdoor Wood Stoves Loading Tools

Log Tongs

• Log tongs are metal tongs about 3-feet long that allow you to load an outdoor wood burning stove without getting right next to the opening of the stove. Simply pinch the tongs together against a small log, and pick it up. Put it the stove, and close the stove. This is also the perfect tool for reaching inside the stove to adjust the logs when adding more fuel to the fire.

Welder's Gloves

• When loading an outdoor wood stove by hand, use welding gloves to protect your hands. Welding gloves are designed to withstand extreme heat, protecting you from burns when loading wood into the stove.

Flat Shovel

• When a section of the wood pile is depleted, it leaves a large mess of bark and small pieces of wood. Cleaning it up and throwing it into the outdoor stove keeps the area clean. A flat shovel is the perfect tool for this job as it skates along the ground. It is easy to load the piles of wood chips and bark into the stove with the long handle of the shovel.
