To the non-serious barbecuer, this item probably seems like a silly gimmick. But it is really quite helpful when working over charcoal/charwood. Before I had this "barbecue hoe" (a name that just rolls off the tongue) I'd use tongs or whatever else I could find to move my coals around, which was a bit messy. Can't wait 'til next BBQ season to get even more use out of the hoe.UPDATE 7/30/2009: After using the product about a year, the metal hoe broke off the handle. Luckily, a neighbor has a welder and was able to reattach it without much trouble. But don't be surprised if the same thing happens to you.

It enables you to move the coals around from a safe distance, but not so far away that you loose control.Want Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue 34-Inch Charcoal and Ash Hoe with Removable Handle Discount?
Having looked for an Ash and Coal rake or hoe for awhile I settled on this one. It is beautifully finished and longer than anything else I could find. The hoe portion is also larger although set at about a 115 degree angle (angled away from the handle), which is not clear in the description. It is much longer than anything I saw and if you are looking for a hash hoe this would be the best choice (stainless). It appears (I have not used it extensively) that it will work very well for both charcoal and ash movement.I can't comment (yet) on the durability but have noted that the socket on the end on the end of the handle has some play in it. It is secured by a small brad and I plan on pulling that, filling with epoxy and re-fastening it before too long.
A really lovely addition to the grill toolset.
I will update after use.
