Wait a second...you telling me instead of using salt you use the ashes? If that really does work, I might have to send you a gift...thats an incredible idea!
I have a semi sloped driveway and the ice that forms is crazy. I try to use my ashes in my veggie garden but threw out a lot....
It works...Guaranteed! Lets talk about that gift! MS460? Ok ok I'll settle for a 441!
But really it does work surprisingly well...and its not hard on your asphalt. Just make sure you have your coveralls on cause its dirty! Also last year during our ice/snow storm i plowed off with my 4 wheeler then got the ash can and stepped off my wheeler and BLAM slid on my arse all the way to the bottom. So, i bought a pair of ice cleats! That darn thing is treacherous. I just dump the ash in the tire track areas and the next day it will all melt off. The ash warms from the sun (actually just solar radiation as you dont even need direct sun...just daylight) then as the blacktop is more and more exposed it keeps melting. Our local county highway dept hauls cinders all fall to stock pile for the winter...
