 No more blackened mixing bowls! December 18, 2007

Before I bought this for moving charcoal the three feet from the container to the grill, I tried using tongs. The little bits always slipped out, particularly when using lump charcoal instead of briquettes. Took forever, too. Then I tried using a plastic mixing bowl. I couldn't get the charcoal to scoop well because the lip was too thick and the bowl wasn't the right shape. Plus, the plastic is now scratched and seems to be permanently black at the top from the charcoal. Clearly not the best idea I've had lately.
This scoop solved all that. It is large, and seems like it would stop a bullet. It has a nice polish that looks nice, while not collecting charcoal dust. All aluminum means it won't rust when left outside (as mine is).
Surprisingly good quality -- it looks like it cost a hundred dollars at a specialty store. Would make a good gift, especially if you notice that the griller in your life has been scratching up the mixing bowls.
Not just for ashes September 24, 2007
I buy 50 pound bags of dog food and have been using plastic bowls to scoop out the chow into a bucket to carry into the dog pen to fill poochie's dish. After going through several bowls which tend to crack and break, I purchased this aluminum scoop.
Hot dog, does it work so much better than a bowl!! It's strong and durable and will last no doubt for many years. I didn't measure how much, but the scoop holds a lot, and I can fill a bucket in no time.
What else can I say about a scoop? It's strong, has a nice finish to it, it's easy to use, and holds a lot. In fact it's so nice, I'll probably have to hide it from the Grill King so he doesn't scarf it to use for the charcoal.
