Where the Wild Things Are
My US Stoves Magnolia has one, but I've never used it. I cannot imagine reaching in there and pulling up the plug just so I can try to push ashes down the hole and into the pan, and then cleaning out the pan, would be anywhere near as easy as just shoveling the ashes into an ash bucket. Especially with a hot stove with lots of glowing coals.
Can anyone explain what I'm missing here about the advantages of an ash pan?
