Black Metal Coal Bucket with Teak-Handled Shovel – Traditional Steel Fireplace Coal Scuttle Set 28x25x22cm

Keep coal neatly stored and your shovel close to hand with our Black Metal Coal Bucket with Teak-Handled Shovel. Measuring H28 × W25 × D22cm, this handcrafted fireside set combines a traditional black steel coal scuttle with a coordinating black metal shovel, finished with a turned teak wooden handle that brings warm natural contrast to the dark metalwork.

Designed to be practical for everyday fireside use while looking smart beside the hearth, the coal bucket features a gently tapered body, traditional sloping upper rim and large arched carrying handle. Two subtle raised bands add definition around the lower section, while a dedicated holder on the side provides a convenient place to store the included coal shovel when it is not in use.

Traditional Black Coal Bucket for the Fireside

The classic coal-scuttle shape gives this compact black coal bucket plenty of traditional fireside character. Its body widens gently towards the base, while the upper edge rises towards the front to create the familiar angled profile associated with traditional coal buckets, coal scuttles and fireplace hods.

Finished in black, the steel construction has a simple, understated appearance that works particularly well alongside cast-iron fireplaces and black wood-burning stoves. Its restrained design also makes it easy to position within both traditional and more contemporary hearth settings without appearing overly decorative.

Includes a Teak-Handled Coal Shovel

A coordinating coal shovel is included with the bucket, giving you a practical tool for transferring coal while keeping both pieces together as a matching fireside set. The shovel combines a black metal scoop with a turned teak wooden handle, introducing natural colour and visible wood grain against the otherwise black finish.

The shaped wooden handle features decorative turned detailing and provides a practical point to hold when using the shovel. When it is no longer required, the shovel slots into the dedicated holder attached to the side of the coal bucket, helping to keep this essential fireside tool stored neatly and close to hand.

Black Steel Construction with Natural Wood Detail

The coal bucket is handcrafted from steel and finished in black, creating a practical fireplace accessory with a timeless appearance. Rather than relying on ornate decoration, its character comes from the traditional tapered proportions, curved carrying handle, angled upper rim, subtle horizontal banding and contrasting natural wood of the shovel handle.

The combination of black metal and warm-toned wood makes the set particularly easy to coordinate with other traditional fireside accessories, while retaining a simple enough appearance for modern fireplace and wood-burning stove settings.

Integrated Shovel Storage

One of the most useful features is the dedicated shovel holder fitted to the side of the coal bucket. The shovel can be positioned vertically against the scuttle when not in use, with the black scoop resting against the body and its turned teak handle remaining visible above the rim.

This keeps the shovel immediately accessible when tending the fire and creates a tidier arrangement beside the hearth than storing a separate coal shovel elsewhere. The natural wooden handle also becomes an attractive contrasting detail when displayed against the black steel bucket.

Large Arched Carrying Handle

A substantial black metal handle arches over the open top of the coal bucket. Attached at either side of the body, it provides a practical carrying point for repositioning the bucket while reinforcing its traditional coal-scuttle design.

The empty set weighs approximately 1.73kg. Remember that the overall weight will increase considerably once coal is added, so only fill the bucket to a level that allows it to be lifted and handled comfortably and safely.

How Large Is the Coal Bucket?

The overall dimensions are approximately H28 × W25 × D22cm. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for positioning beside a fireplace or wood-burning stove without requiring the space of a substantially larger coal container, while still providing dedicated storage for both coal and the included shovel.

Before ordering, we recommend measuring the intended position against all three dimensions. Allow suitable clearance from your fireplace, stove or other heat source, and remember to consider the arched carrying handle and the space required to remove and replace the shovel comfortably.

What Is the Coal Bucket Made From?

The coal bucket is made from steel and finished in black. Steel is the principal material used for the bucket and metal components, while the included coal shovel features a contrasting teak wooden handle.

The overall set therefore combines black steel with natural wood rather than being entirely metal. The warm brown tones and natural grain of the teak handle provide a distinctive contrast against the black bucket and shovel scoop.

Is a Coal Shovel Included?

Yes. This black coal bucket is supplied with a coordinating metal coal shovel featuring a turned teak wooden handle. The bucket also incorporates a dedicated side holder so the shovel can be stored with the coal scuttle when it is not being used.

This makes the set a practical choice if you want a coal bucket with shovel included rather than purchasing and storing two separate fireside accessories.

Where Can I Use It?

This black coal bucket and shovel set is designed as an indoor fireside accessory for storing and handling coal beside a suitable fireplace or stove. Its traditional coal-scuttle shape works naturally with period-style fireplaces and cast-iron surrounds, while the simple black finish also suits contemporary wood-burning stove settings and neutral interiors.

With the shovel stored neatly against the side, the complete set has a compact, orderly appearance that allows it to remain beside the hearth throughout the colder months rather than needing to be hidden away between uses.

Will It Arrive Looking Exactly the Same as the Photographs?

The overall design, proportions and black finish will remain representative of the product shown, but this is a handcrafted item and the shovel incorporates a natural wooden handle. Small variations in the colour, grain and markings of the wood may therefore occur between individual pieces, while minor variations associated with handcrafted construction may also be present.

These subtle differences are part of the natural and handcrafted character of the set. We recommend viewing all product photographs to see the coal bucket from different angles, including how the shovel looks both separately and stored in its dedicated side holder.

Care & Fireside Safety

Wipe the black metal surfaces with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and loose debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads and harsh chemicals that could mark or damage the finish. Wipe the wooden shovel handle carefully with a clean, dry or lightly dampened cloth when required and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

Position the coal bucket securely on a stable, suitable surface and maintain a safe distance from open flames, sparks and excessive heat. Take additional care when lifting or repositioning the bucket after coal has been added, as its total weight will increase considerably. Do not overload the bucket and always ensure the amount stored remains appropriate for comfortable and safe handling.
