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\u003e34\" Heritage Fire Poker – Forged Steel with Hook\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReach into a fireplace or fire pit with a 34-inch steel poker that combines a pointed working end with a hook.

It is a straightforward hearth tool with visible forged detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hook can help pull or shift a log, while the poker end can make smaller adjustments.

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.
