Abstract: A fireplace tool comprised of a rod or bar, having a hand grip on one end, and on the other end an open-jawed mouth to grip and lift or re-position logs in a fireplace. There are no moving parts, no hinges, or pivot points. The tool can be made of one solid piece of steel or material with similar properties of elasticity and fire resistance or can be fabricated from two or more parts. The log is held in place by friction, created by ridges within the open-jawed mouth of the tool and the spring effect of the open-jawed mouth. The spring effect of the tool's mouth along with the grip of ridges allow most burning logs to be completely lifted, held, and moved about safely.
