Review on πŸ”₯ POLIGO Charcoal Grill Ash Rake Hoe: Premium Stainless Steel BBQ Cleaner for Fireplace, Wood Stove, Pizza Oven & More by Sarah Moore

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Cheap tills. Do not buy!

I ordered this item thinking it would be a simple solution to the problem of slamming hot coals against the side of my wood fired pizza oven. 25 inches seemed like a good enough length to move the coals around without sticking your hand too far into the stove. I ordered my first item that came out and there was no internal thread on the handle. So I couldn't connect the two pole pieces together. Absolutely useless. I thought it was an accident so I asked for it to be returned and replaced. A second item appeared and the handle was completely different from the first, with a miniature piece of hard plastic about 1 inch long as the "handle". Needless to say, holding on to a metal rod while shoveling coals would likely transfer heat relatively quickly, which is ridiculous. Again completely useless. If you look at my photo you can also see that their claimed 25.2 inches is actually just over 20. As a man, I know the strategy of claiming your shaft is longer than it actually is. But overdoing it by 5 inches is risky. My wife even remarked that she would have preferred the extra 5 inches on the shaft when I use it to slide the oven in and out. In short, I do not recommend this product. This is a cheap product not worth the money. Only $17, but still. Look elsewhere and do not endorse this manufacturer.

Pros
  • A MUST HAVE CHARCOAL RAKE FOR CHARCOAL GRILLS: If you regularly grill on charcoal or wood fires, then our BBQ Ash Tool falls into the must-have category. This simple, innovative ash shovel makes it easy to maneuver both hot and cold coals. This is essential and works great for sliding the charcoal tray in and out. Don't assume you'll need it until you pay, you wouldn't want to grill without a charcoal rake.
Cons
