Clear the Ash Frequently
The slanted grate is designed to shape the charcoal bed to promote high temperatures near the entrance to the secondary combustion chamber. The grates must be kept free of heavy ash accumulation. Clear ash manually every six to eight hours of operation or before you reload.
To clear the ash, “hoe” the ash and charcoal forward with a stove shovel or similar fireplace tool so they drop through the grate. CAUTION: Do not put any tool up into the secondary combustion chamber or you will risk damaging the refractory package.
Remove and Store Ash Safely
Check the ash pan before reloading the stove. If the ash is close to the top, empty the pan. Before replacing the ash pan, clear away any ash that has spilled over the sides and back of the pan.
