Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a new device that allows logs to be inserted into a wood stove with a door. It includes a metal plate that can be inserted into the opening, which has a handle for easy maneuverability. The plate acts as a shield from heat and flames, and it is smooth on the top to prevent any damage to the logs. The device is designed to help safely and efficiently insert logs into a wood stove.

Problems solved by technology

Problems involved in loading the stove include possible exposure to heat and flames if the stove already has a fire, strain on a person's back while loading, accidental damage to the stove grate, extended time to fully load the stove, and difficulty of removing a log found to be too long.
