  1 0 I did a search online and found some ecommerce sites that carried them. I looked at the Sutter Home & Hearth site but it had no accessories displayed on its site. I would probably order online, or see if the manufacturer's website lists retailers. agness answered in Whatever 5 months ago | Report 7 comments by agness, agness, and Sacrelicious… 0 0 I did a further search. It is the Frieedragon Blow Poke by Mango International. Evidently Seattle Luxe, a mail-order/ecommerce biz located in Kent sells them. Maybe you could order today and have it in time Iif their warehouse/distribution center is local -- or call and see if they do will-call and pick it up. Her is the link to the accessories page, my connection was slow so I didn't yet locate the product page. http://www.seattleluxe.com/fireplace-tools/#/fireplace-tools/%23page/__id__ agness commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 Firedragon Blow Poke - my iPhone is being bad today. agness commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 Hey Agness, I called a bunch of places yesterday. Lynnwood didn't have them. Monroe didn't have them. Sutton said they did, so I drove all the way over to Woodinville and they had the wrong thing (and it was 6x more expensive). I'm looking at the Seattleluxe page, but I don't see my item anywhere on the site, and nobody is answering the office phone. Sigh! Sacrelicious commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 Bummer. I kept searching but it is the kind of specialty item that smaller shops without ecommerce sites would have -- hence not much via search results. Did you try calling City People's Sandpiunt store? agness commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 I went through a bunch of local research and calling when you first posted but didn't respond here because you said you wanted to only hear from folks that actually saw them somewhere. Sutton did indeed say they had it, but in talking to them I realized it was a product that was originally known as the Blo-Poke (note the spelling, http://www.blopoke.com/) and you are right they are very expensive - heck the hanger they sell for them is around $25. I knew what they were because when I was 19 (many years ago) I worked in a foundry in Maine and sand molded the bronze tips and hollow handle ends every week as part of my work (really!, it's true). Because the model (Firedragon) you wanted was sold through Amazon, I thought the best bet was to order from them but your timeline just didn't seem reasonable for getting it in time. I think this time you will have to tell the great story about it, describe it, wrap up a photo and let your family member know you will arrange to have it delivered before Christmas. Russ Campbell, NWEBS commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 Yeah. I guess I didn't describe it well enough on the phone, because the hanger for that thing was about the price of what I actually wanted. They sorta scoffed at me when I showed up in the store and said the thing I wanted was a "knockoff." Not appreciated. I would have happily ordered it from Amazon if I'd thought it would have arrived in time, but I just thought about it too late, and it never occurred to me that it wouldn't be possible to buy this SOMEWHERE in Seattle! Oh well, I'll save it up for next year. Thanks for the help, guys! I appreciate you trying. Sacrelicious commented 5 months ago | Report 0 0 Also, you worked on these in a foundry? Jeez, Russ. Remind me to ask you more about that next time I see you.
