What are some tips for using a shovel?

When using a fireplace shovel, make sure to scoop up ashes before dumping them in place. If you’re working with something that’s been sitting there for some time then this might take longer than usual if not done correctly from the beginning so don’t rush through it either since that could end badly when trying to get things into another location instead of where they were beforehand or simply thrown away because no one wants ash all over their home at any point during cleaning for obvious reasons too.
