A simple tool that transforms fire control: a metal rake with a long handle to spread hot coals evenly and create precise temperature zones inside the kamado, without bringing your hand near the heat.
When you tip lit charcoal out of the chimney, it lands in a heap. The rake spreads it evenly in seconds and lets you define a hot zone and a milder one for direct and indirect cooking. The long handle keeps your hand off the heat. It's cheap, durable and solves a task that's slow and clumsy with tongs.
Spreads charcoal in seconds and defines heat zones without reaching in. Cheap, sturdy and surprisingly useful for fire control.

FAQ
What exactly is the Weber charcoal rake for?
It spreads and levels embers inside the grill to create direct and indirect heat zones without burning yourself. The angled head hooks the charcoal and drags it to one side, something that takes three times as long with tongs. After cooking it also helps gather ash for removal.
Does the handle insulate from the heat?
The handle is long with a grip that keeps your hand away from the embers, though the metal head heats up fast and must not be touched. For long low-and-slow sessions where you often rearrange coals, pairing it with Rapicca gloves adds a safety margin. The thin head reaches the corners of a kamado well.
Is it the same as an ash rake?
They overlap but are not identical: this rake is mainly for moving lit embers and shaping heat zones during the cook. To clean cold ash from a kamado bottom, a dedicated scoop like the Grilliance ash rake gathers the dust better. Many grillers use the Weber while hot and the scoop when cold.
