today i tried placing a clear trash bag cut into a sheet on top of my stove top, secured with a log to keep it from sliding off.
this made the plastic act as a barrier between my home and the stove. the draft was very slight as i had burned down the stove to barley any embers.
i was not even too careful with how i dumped the ash as i could not move as easily as without the sheet of plastic, however i did not get much if any soot/ash on the floor where i poured the ash into a bucket.
anyone ever try this?
in my opinion, i will never empty the ash again without it!
only caution is to not place the plastic on a hot stove top...
that and dont let the plastic touch your hot ash bucket.
