ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a chute shaped tool having a handle and an integral stop attached thereto, all of which is made of noncombustible material except, in some instances, for the wooden handle. The chute portion of the tool may be placed into the firebox of a typical woodburner stove or furnace for the purpose of guiding and physically supporting the loading of wooden logs or other similar solid fuels thereby assisting the stove user in the proper restoking of the fire and maintaining a safe bodily distance from hot stove surfaces. The integral stop rests against the firebox door thereby preventing the tool from completely entering the firebox during the fuel loading process. The chute further prevents damage to the firebox grate or firebrick by preventing dropped logs from impacting upon said firebox grate or firebrick. The tool also achieves greater ease in the manual loading of heavy awkward logs, otherwise held by one end only, by providing support to the far end of the log or its entire length thereby acting as a slide or chute.
