I could've put one more length on the sooteater but I was already on the roof with micro spikes on. The top looked to be really clean so I did quick clean down. Maybe a 1/4 cup. Here is a picture looking up. Very white soft ash. This is all over the top of the inside of my stove too. Assuming its normal and I don't need to worry about it?
