Here’s what seems to me like a stupid question………but I need to know…….
I have been happily burning away with our stove since last year, however it is in our cabin so we are only burning on the weekends mostly when we are up there. Here’s my thing, normally I would come in Friday night and scoop out the ash in the firebox (most of it) from the previous weekend and then start my fire and burn fine through Sunday. When we take long weekends of 3-4 nights the ash builds up quite a bit and therefore I obviously want to remove it.
This is a normal chore for all you full time burners so I want to know your method for removing ash from a burning fire effectively and safely…..what’s the best way?
I picked up a decent ash can with top this past weekend and while the fire was burning I removed the ash drawer (which I normally leave full and just scoop the fire box) and dumped them in the can along with anything that fell through during the process so I could slide the drawer back in……….
What’s the best way guys?
Thanks
Steve
