New problem for me...
It's 9 degrees and I'm, burning my woodstove full blast 24 hours a day. (My old house is not built for this cold of weather!)
The red hot coals are building up in the bottom of the woodstove to where I can't put as much wood in. But just the coals are not hot enough to keep the house warm, I need to have wood burning constantly.
Normally we have warmer temperatures during the day like 40's or 50's. So I would build a big fire in the morning, then let it die out and all those red coals would turn to ash, then I can scoop that out.
But how to get rid of the red hot coals so I can put more wood in? I do have a metal trash can with a metal lid.
