Material:

• Stainless Steel: This material is chosen for its strength, resistance to rust and corrosion, and ability to withstand high temperatures. Stainless steel is also easy to clean and maintain.

Shape and Design:

• Flat Blade: The peel typically features a flat, broad blade that allows for effective scooping and removal of ash. The blade may have a slightly curved or angled edge to help lift and slide under ash and debris.
• Size: The blade is usually wide enough to handle a large amount of ash at once, which is ideal for maintaining cleanliness in a wood-burning oven or fireplace.

Handle:

• Construction: The handle is often made from a heat-resistant material or coated to ensure a comfortable grip. It may be ergonomically designed to make it easier to maneuver while maintaining a safe distance from the heat source.
• Length: Handles can vary in length, but they are typically long enough to keep the user’s hands away from the hot area, especially in deep ovens or fireplaces.

Edge:

• Tapered or Rounded: The edge of the blade might be tapered or rounded to facilitate easy sliding under the ash and prevent damage to the oven or fireplace surface
