Blow pipe? do you blow down a pipe using your mouth ? better not suck then lol. Seen a damp towel on a peel used on youtube for pizza and bread.
See what you mean about the bristles could be nasty if one came adrift.
A blow pipe should be easy to make too.

There has been quite a few reports here in the states of people going to emergency with stomach pain - check out the results of a google search I did - it's enough to make you want to throw away all your grill scrapers.My build thread

+3 on the wire brush. Lots of folks still use them, and they are on just about every pizza oven tool list. They are no longer on mine lol. I bought a natural bristle brush. But, I rarely ever use it because I use the "peel slap" and a blow pipe. The peel slap method works great on a hot oven, since the draft takes the fines right up and out the chimney/flu. For a few seconds it looks like smoke coming out. So far, I haven't seen much need to brush a cold oven. I just rake most of the ash out and start another fire.
For my blow pipe, I added a little "mechanical advantage", and it has a check valve. I found a very small bellows at a local farm supply.
Your rake will work fine, but if you will extend it to one side, and tweak it to where it works for your dome, you will like it a lot better. I can place the bade of mine in the very back of my dome where the it meets the flloor and pull to one side all the way to the door. Then, flip it over and do the other side. It cleans those corners very well. I call this design a "rooker". That is the Old French term and design for an oven rake. Check this thread out by Navyintel. navyintel.

Take a hammer and tap down on the end of the copper tube a bit to make it flatter, it will increase the speed of the air coming out of the pipe (kind of the jet principle). Makes it a little easier to make a lung full of air last a little longer and create a hotter coal burn on the "blow". I also found that if you don't find a bellows and don't like to wrap your lips around the copper tube, find an old mouth piece for a trumpet (or such) and fit it on one end for a better "mouth feel".Mike Stansbury - The Traveling Loafer

Myke, as Russell noted above, there is a sticky thread under the Brick Oven Cooking group and Get Cooking category, Thread = Favorite Pan, Tool, or Gadget. I posted #45 in the thread with an attached pdf document showing my set of fire management, prep & baking tools...most are not very posh or shiny.In the pdf I explained what I liked about each and why I used them. I hope that thread and category is what you're looking for...
