[QUOTE="logbutcher, post: 3303613, member: 4440"] Most of the above posts are right on, especially "what's the big deal". Some tips from too long flaming with wood: 1. IF you're using any wood stove for full time heating, empty/clean the ashes often. Like it's been said: in winter with 24/7 heating, the routine for most wood stoves is every day. Shoulder times, less ash emptying. You'll get more effective burning with less ashes. 2. For most species and stoves, ash will insulate live coals for days. Use a steel bucket for storage, or empty where there's no wind or chance or blowing live coals. 3. Warning: throw ashes with the wind. Wet finger to determine direction. And for sure, do not throw ashes against wind when it is raining or snowing.:hmm3grin2orange: 4. Too many ashes can clog cats. 5. Stoves that are deep below the doors, still need routine ash removal for efficiency. No big deal. It's S.O.P. [/QUOTE]
