Abstract: An apparatus for stoking a fire may include: at least one tube including a proximal region comprising a first aperture, a distal region comprising a second aperture, and hollow interior region connecting the first aperture and the second aperture, such that the first aperture and the second aperture are in fluid communication with each other; and a plate extending distally from the distal region of the tube, wherein the plate includes at least one fuel-engaging feature and a fluid-diverting region, wherein the fluid diverting region diverts fluid emitted from the second aperture, such that a path of the fluid changes.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises: a first handle including a coupling region having an aperture; a first jaw, wherein the proximal region of the first jaw comprises a coupling region including at least one aperture; a first linking portion, including a proximal and distal regions with coupling regions and apertures; a second jaw, a second linking portion, and a second handle in a similar arrangement; a fastener configured to nonmovably secure the first handle and the first linking portion; a fastener configured to pass through the first jaw, the first linking portion, the second jaw, and the second linking portion, such that the first jaw and the first linking portion are secured with each other, the second jaw and the second linking portion are secured with each other, and the first linking portion and the second linking portion are movably secured with each other.

Abstract: A tracer wire holder for use in securing tracer wires along the top of a pipe before burial. The tracer wire holder is comprised of a first section and a second section connected by a flexible planar intermediate section. The first section has generally arcuate outer and inner walls. The second section has generally planar outer and inner walls and a plurality of rib members projecting from the inner wall. Locking means is provided to secure first section with second section in a closed locked position The first and second sections form a cavity for receiving and securing a tracer wire when the first section is secured with the second section.
