Yesterday afternoon I took the equivalent of 20-25 gallons of ash out of my 5036. The coal bed was starting to get 8-12" above the floor of the firebox. I think all the ash had an insulating effect and possibly took away 25-30% of the firebox exposed inside. My burn last night was extended by a few hours with LESS wood. It was about 18F here. In the future I will not be waiting as long to cleanout ash. I may do so on a weekly basis due to my satisfation with increased performance. Any thoughts on this?
