A coal scuttle, sometimes spelled coalscuttle and also called a hod, "coal bucket", or "coal pail", is a bucket-like container for holding a small, intermediate supply of coal convenient to an indoor coal-fired stove or heater. Coal scuttles were first used in the 18th century to hold coal for the fireplace. The word "scuttle" comes from the Latin word scutula, which means "shallow pan". Coal scuttles were later adapted into ornamental wood boxes or racks for fire logs. By 1850, coal had been replaced by logs, but the box was still called a coal scuttle.
