Master the art of wood-fired maintenance with the Authentic Pizza Ovens Professional Stainless Steel Ash Shovel.

Why the Authentic Pizza Ovens Ash Shovel is Essential
Technical Specifications
Installation and Proper Use Usage Guidelines
No assembly is required. To use, wait until your wood has burned down to coals or ash. Gently slide the shovel along the oven floor to collect debris. We recommend moving hot coals to the 10 o'clock or 2 o'clock positions to maintain a consistent "curtain of heat" across the dome while keeping the floor clear for the dough. Safety Precautions
While the shovel is built for high heat, the metal shaft will conduct temperature over time. Always utilize the designated handle grip. Never leave the shovel resting inside a live oven for extended periods, as this can cause the metal to reach dangerous temperatures.
Care and Maintenance
Why the Authentic Pizza Ovens Ash Shovel is Essential
- Superior Thermal Resistance: Crafted from premium-grade stainless steel, this shovel is designed to withstand direct contact with glowing embers and high-temperature floor tiles. It will not warp, melt, or degrade under the extreme heat required for Neapolitan-style pizza.
- Precision Hearth Cleaning: The flat, low-profile blade is specifically tapered to glide under ash and coals, allowing you to move fuel to the sides or back of the oven with surgical precision. This ensures your cooking surface remains pristine and free of debris for every bake.
- Extended Safety Reach: Featuring an elongated handle, this tool provides the necessary distance to keep the operator safely away from the oven’s thermal plume. You can manage your fire and clear the hearth without being exposed to uncomfortable heat levels.
- Ergonomic Efficiency: The balance between the blade and the handle is meticulously calibrated to reduce strain. It is lightweight enough for quick maneuvers but sturdy enough to haul heavy loads of spent wood and ash.
- Luxury Longevity: Unlike galvanized or thin-gauge steel alternatives, our 304-grade stainless steel construction is rust-proof and corrosion-resistant. It maintains its polished, high-end aesthetic even after years of exposure to soot and high-heat cycles.
Technical Specifications
- Material: 304-Grade Food-Safe Stainless Steel.
- Handle: Integrated heat-resistant grip for superior control and safety.
- Dimensions: Approximately 36 inches in total length; engineered to reach the back of even our largest oven models (e.g., the Lisboa or Brazza).
- Blade Design: Square-edge, flat-bottom shovel face for maximum surface contact with the oven floor.
- Finish: Brushed professional-grade finish to minimize the visibility of scratches.

Care and Maintenance
- Post-Use Cleaning: Allow the shovel to cool completely before cleaning. Wipe down the blade with a damp cloth to remove fine ash particles. For stubborn soot, use a mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge.
- Avoid Moisture: While stainless steel is rust-resistant, storing the tool while wet or leaving it in a damp environment can lead to spotting. Dry thoroughly with a soft microfiber cloth to maintain the luxury shine.
- Storage: Store in a dry, covered area. Many chefs prefer hanging the tool by the handle loop to prevent the blade from coming into contact with moisture on the ground.
- Hearth Health: Regularly cleaning your shovel ensures that you aren't transferring old, flavored ash back into the oven during your next session
