Show us your favorite tools that you use for keeping your outdoor wood burning furnace clean and running efficiently.

I will start with some images of the tools I use for my E-classic 1400 with brief descriptions.

The first photo shows all the tools together followed by some photos with details shown.

I will have to get a pic of my stuff.  Just bought a new coal shovel.  Well it was old, but new to me.  You can't find good steel coal shovels new these days.  Drove 35 mile for a $5 shovel.  Crazy I know.  I bought my last one years ago of a junk seller.  Been looking for a replacement since then at flea markets and stuff.

Simple but useful tool to clean the airholes.

I use an old aluminum ski pole that is slightly bent at the tip to poke my airholes...

Another New Hampshah guy who favors the ski pole and I have a lifetimes supply.
Cut the rubber basket off beforehand if you can. It will stink bad if you melt it off like I did.
