Nailed it. And don't get one of those stupid little shovels.. just get a metal dust pan. You'll also want a short metal trash can and these gloves. Between the gloves (you can pick up and hold a burning log for 20+ seconds), and stuff that would go in the fire anyway, no additional utensils should be required. You might want to check the gloves periodically... I've replaced mine twice - both times after realizing there was a hole in the glove while my hand was in the stove. I'm sure there's a better way.
