we had a gas poker that was fixed into the firebowl. you put the coke and kindling in then turned on the gas and dropped a lit match into the fire...very exciting! it was in use until my Mum had central heating installed in the mid 80's and she had the real fire gubbins taken out and a gas fire installed. I went and stayed with her to let the fitters in and out as she was still working and I was not. The installer said that he wouldn't remove the gas poker so I went to the local inronmongers and bought a giant adjustable spanner, which I still have, and took it out myself!
