coal shovel
Fireplace loading tool
A coal shovel is a short-handled shovel with a wide, deep blade designed for scooping coal from a bin or pile into a furnace, stove, or fireplace.
The blade is typically squared off and slightly curved to hold loose material without spilling.
Though less common as coal heating has declined, the design persists for moving ash, sand, or other granular materials.
