Narrower than a standard household dustpan, so you can easily get into the corners of the woodstove, fireplace, or chimney. Use the Tampico Ash Broom (its fibers come from a type of Agave plant) for daily cleanup up around the hearth, or when ash and embers inevitably fall out of the stove. The semi-stiff bristles are great for lifting caked-on ash. Both implements have wood handles with holes at the end, that can be used to hang on a hook near the fireplace.
