Do You Need a Poker for a Fireplace?

A poker is a metal rod with a pointed end that is used to stir a fire in a fireplace. It is also used to remove ashes from the firebox.

A poker can be used to poke the fire to make it burn more brightly, or to spread the coals out so that they will burn evenly.

PRO TIP:If you plan to use a fireplace in your home, it is important to invest in a poker so that you can safely move and adjust logs and embers. A poker can also be used to stoke the fire and help keep the flames burning.

A poker can also be used to reposition logs that have rolled out of place, or to move them around so that they will burn more evenly. If you have a wood-burning fireplace, you will need a poker to rearrange the wood on the grate and to stoke the fire.

Pokers are usually made of steel or iron, and they come in various sizes and designs. You can find pokers at most hardware stores or home improvement stores.

Some fireplaces come with a poker, but if yours does not, you can purchase one separately.
