We bought it in a blacksmith shop near the ranch in Texas. It is used at the fire pit and is extremely useful. We have always called it "The outside poker". The next year, we stopped at the same shop to buy another, for use at the lake but discovered that the shop had closed. Ken and I have been looking for a similar outside poker ever since. Finally we gave up and asked a man who lives in Western head to build us two, similar to the one in Texas. His name is Adrienne and he works by himself building with steel and metals.
He agreed to take the job but required specific dimensions, which we provided, including pictures of the original poker in Texas. The first time he saw the pictures, he called it 'The Devil Fork'. Yesterday I answered the phone to hear a man's voice. The man said "Your devil fork is ready". Now we are the proud owners of two sturdy 'devil forks', one to use at our fire pit here by the shore and one for the cottage. We are thrilled to have a sturdy poker for use at our outside fires and especially thrilled that our pokers now have names.
