The AB Tools Coal Hod Scuttle is an essential fireplace accessory designed for homeowners who regularly use solid fuel stoves or open fires. It provides a robust, dual-handled solution for transporting and storing coal, logs, or kindling, effectively reducing the number of trips required between your woodpile and hearth. While its generous 56cm height offers significant capacity, users should ensure they have sufficient floor space beside their fireplace to accommodate its substantial footprint.

The bucket measures 56cm in height, 25cm in width, and 25cm in depth.
It is designed primarily for fuel storage and transport; placing hot ash inside is not recommended as it could damage the finish and potentially conduct heat through the metal handles.
The steel is powder-coated for protection, but it is not intended for liquid storage. Prolonged exposure to rain should be avoided to prevent internal corrosion.
Yes, its flat base allows for stable placement on most hearth surfaces, though you should ensure the area is level.
The powder coating is durable, but avoid hitting it against hard surfaces or using abrasive cleaners, which could lead to chipping or scratching.
Check the rivets or fixings where the handle meets the bucket body; tighten if possible or consult a professional metalworker if the structure is compromised.
Clean the area thoroughly with a wire brush to remove oxidation, and apply a touch-up of matte black heat-resistant paint or metal enamel.
There is no assembly required for this product; it is ready to use straight out of the box. Compatibility is universal for any traditional or modern hearth setting. To care for your scuttle, keep it in a dry location when not in use to prevent moisture accumulation. If coal dust accumulates, simply wipe the exterior and interior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh abrasive chemicals or steel wool, as these can scratch or degrade the black powder coating, potentially exposing the metal to rust.
