Best for: Arranging hot coals and building direct and indirect cooking zones.
A charcoal rake has a long handle and a sturdy head for moving fuel around the firebox. It lets you shape the heat beneath your food without sacrificing your cooking utensils to the coals.
How to Use It
Put on heat-resistant gloves before working near hot coals.
Use the rake to spread the lit charcoal or bank it to one side.
Leave a space without coals beneath it for gentler, indirect cooking.
Rest the hot rake on a noncombustible surface when finished.
Care tip: Choose a rake that fits comfortably inside your firebox and has a firmly attached head.
