Home heating has undergone plenty of developments along with advances in technology. While fireplaces then were only fueled by logs, today, they run on electric power; natural gas including methane, propane, and butane; pellets made of wood, corn, sunflower seeds, and other organic materials.

There are, however, plenty of people who enjoy the old-world romance of a traditional fireplace that burns logs instead of the more modern fuels. One thing you will never have with the new fuels is the crackling fire from the logs. You can actually hear the fire roar and hear crackles sounding like popping corn kernels.

You will need a special set of tools if you want to enjoy the flickering fire from real logs though – a poker to adjust and reposition the burning logs for a better combustion, tongs to pick up small pieces of burning coal and place them on the fire. There is also this matter of cleaning up the ash in the fireplace, if not on the following morning, then at least in the next few days. You will need a shovel to gather up the ash and a broom designed especially to sweep any remaining residue.

The Fireplace Mall Solid Brass Ball-Handled Fireplace Tool Set provides you with all four tools – a poker, tongs, shovel, and broom. All these come with style. They are made of shiny solid brass with a handle that terminates in a ball. All tools extend 30.5 inches, thus you are at a safe distance from the fire as you move the logs or pick up burning coals.

The four tools hang from a ring with a cut opening at the top of an elegant tool holder. It has a circular base adorned with a gallery rail. Along with the holder, the tools weigh 19 pounds.
