I want to bank my coals with ash when i don't really want to reload. My concern is would this cause a CO2 or whatever you call it problem? My draft is great but i just thought i would ask before i started doing it.
Yep that does make sense. Thank you all for the help.its probably no different than waking up to ash in the firebox, stir it around and under the ash is a ton of coals. That's what I woke up to this morning. I thought my fire was out. Stirred the ashes and found a sh** load of hot coals and no CO2 problem here if that make any sense
Yeah now i remember that thread i think i will stay away from banking coals.One of the mods (forget who) has a post somewhere on the forum advising against this. For him it did cause a dangerous carbon monoxide (CO) issue. I guess there is a difference between letting a good fire burn itself nearly out vs burying red coals in ash to hold them for a later startup. If I can find the post, I'll link it here.
