What I've found that works the best is to push all the coals to the far left side of the box,
and "bank" a new load of firewood N/S, tucked agaist the right side.
Doing it this way I can go for days before having to scoop out any ash,
and it burn the coals down to nothing.
Oh, wow. That's a great idea. I will definitely try that. The only problem being a sufficient supply of 8-inch wood...
Many thanks.
Sometimes I think we ought to start a "tiny firebox" forum since the dynamics seem to be so different from the larger ones.
