ABSTRACT:
A shovel for removing ashes from the ashpit of a wood stove has a scoop portion and a hinged lid thereon. The scoop portion has bottom wall with upturned lip, side and rear walls and an open front. The lid portion has a downwardly depending extension for overlying the open front of the scoop when the lid is in its closed position. A pair of shortened, horizontally spaced handles are attached to the outer surface of the rear wall. Additionally, an auxiliary handle may be provided for use when carrying the shovel from one place to another. The auxiliary handle is flexible and falls clear of the open lid when released and the shovel is inserted into a stove. Lid control means, in a preferred embodiment, is an elongated tab attached to and extending rearwardly from the edge of the lid, at a midpoint between the handles.
