Ash Removal and Disposal
You should remove ash before it reaches the top of the
ash pan. Check the level at least once a day. Every few
days, clear any ash from the outer edges of the firebox
and the cavity areas of the stove. Most of the ash will
fall through the grate. Slice or stir the ash with a shovel
or poker so that it falls through the grate slots.
