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.

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.
