The spreader (,) includes first and second elongated, generally side-by-side brooms (,) in trailing relationship to the bar (,). The first broom (,) is generally concave, whereas the second broom (,) is substantially rectilinear). A tubular handle (,) is coupled with the bar (,) for delivery of heated material thereto. A temperature gauge (,) is mounted on the handle (,) in close adjacency to the bar (,), allowing the user to closely monitor material temperatures at the point of application. An alternate delivery bar (,) has individual nipple-valves (,) affording better material flow control.
