    On another thread started it was brought up about ash rakes so thought I would give this one another bump.

    Inside , small stove so a piece of 1/2 rod with a small piece of flat stock glued to one end , the other end has a loop for a handle.

    Shop Stove ; large stove so an old golf club with a piece of angle iron welded on the end. Cheap long handle rake that came with the stove when I got it.

    Flat stock from the local home depot. Few minutes with a torch, and a few whacks over a sharp corner.
