3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but....., January 9, 2009

Not a bad product, but the finish could use improvement.
While the can and shovel are heavy/sturdy enough, the black paint applied to both doesn't hold up well to hot coals. When shoveling out the woodstove, the hot coals in the can blistered the paint and actually caused it to burn. The whole house smelled like burned paint and it took some time with a floor fan at the patio door to draw the smoke out of the house.
It might make more sense to have the can and shovel "blued" as they do with firearms, as opposed to painted.

I live in a condo with an internal fireplace and ratehr than use wood I use those compressed logs (mostly Duraflames). These do a great job of burning right down to very little ash so I can get through quite a period without needing to empty the grating.

Prior to using this product I used a beach bucket and spade. Looked ridiculous sitting next to the fireplace but it worked. This product is a step up from that.

The bucket is quite large being around a foot diameter and a bit more than a foot high. The enamel was done well and it looks quite good sitting in the place of the neon green bucket and spade.

The shovel is simply a sheet of metal rolled into the shovel shape but is fairly solid and works well in getting to the corners of the back of the firebox.

Overall a pretty good looking product that does exactly what it says it does. I should have bought it earlier.

4.0 out of 5 stars works great, November 24, 2008

We bought this after our furnace failed and we weren't just using the wood stove for entertainment or a little extra coziness. When you are running a wood stove most of the day to heat the house, you can't just wait for the ash to be cold before cleaning it out.

The shovel cleans nicely and the lid fits well on the bucket. The wood handle is a nice touch and easier on the hands. The size of the bucket also works well. I didn't give it 5 stars because, well, I just couldn't give 5 stars to a bucket and shovel. However, for what they are they work great.
