Clear the Ash Frequently
The slanted grate is designed to shape the charcoal
bed to promote high temperatures near the entrance to
the secondary combustion chamber. The grates must
be kept free of heavy ash accumulation. Clear ash
manually every six to eight hours of operation or before
you reload.
To clear the ash, “hoe” the ash and charcoal forward
with a stove shovel or similar fireplace tool so they drop
through the grate.
CAUTioN:
Do not put any tool up
into the secondary combustion chamber or you will risk
damaging the refractory package.
Remove and Store Ash Safely
Check the ash pan before reloading the stove. If the
ash is close to the top, empty the pan. Before replacing
the ash pan, clear away any ash that has spilled over
the sides and back of the pan.
When burning wood, empty the ash drawer regularly,
typically every one to three days. The frequency will
vary depending on how hot you run your stove: the hot-
ter the fire, the more wood you burn, and the faster ash
will accumulate.
The ash pan is located in the ash drop chamber with a
handle attached to the front and one to the rear. Always
use stove gloves when handling the ash pan. Keep it
level, and carry it outside for disposal. Empty the ash
into your ash disposal container. When you are fin-
ished, slide the pan back into the stove.
Ash may contain hot coals and must be treated with
extreme care. It should be removed frequently and
placed outdoors in a metal container with a tight-fitting
lid. The closed container of ash should be placed on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from
all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the
ash is disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, it should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Wood ash may
be used as a garden fertilizer.
