There are 3 main types of tools commonly used to tend an indoor fireplace fire or yule log: the tongs, the spade, and the poker itself. These tools help you handle a fire without the risk of burning yourself. Iron is the most popular metal from which most fire tools are wrought. Brass is a more expensive alternative for a home fireplace toolset. A fireplace poker or fire iron is a rigid rod used to poke and adjust coal or wood burning in a fireplace or to stir up a fire. A fireplace poker has a point at one end or a hook for pulling or raking. Other fires irons include fire tongs, fire shovel, and a small broom for sweeping up the used coal and ash.

The word andiron came from Middle English and Old French meaning hand-iron. , also known as firedog, or fire-dogs and sometimes simply called a dog or dog iron. A French term for an andiron is "Chenet, " which originally meant Little dog. Andirons have been used since the 17th-century BC by the Ancient Greeks. Andirons are pairs of fireplace bracket supports, you lay logs for burning across the andirons in an open fireplace, this allows the air to circulate around the wood, to burn better and produces less smoke.

They have a tall vertical decorative piece at the front, with at least two legs. This stops the burning logs from rolling out into the room. The other part is a low horizontal bar or bars that stretch back standing on a single or double leg, that holds the logs off the base of the fireplace. If this is not for you I also have other unusual Brass, Copper, and Bronze items in my Shop.
