cleaning up ash

I am filling up urns and passing them off as dead celebrities and selling them on ebay.

i just throw it into the wind and it disapears. you could put it in a spreader and hit the lawn with it, garden

Bob-
I have a small metal trash can that I keep putting ashes into until it fills up. Sometimes I put the ashes in my garden, sometimes, when I know that they aren't hot, I put them in the trash. I'm fussy- I pull the ashes out every 3 or 4 cooks-unless I'm looking for higher temps for an extended period for pizzas. I like starting fresh for cooks like that.

I use a plastic bucket that held tabs for the pool, it slides right under the nest on the Large. Just have to be careful that the spent ash is cold. Then I dump some in the garden, and the rest into the trash.

I clean her out always before a low and slow, otherwise every 5 cooks or so. I use a Budweiser bucket I stole from the bar down the street from my house. I then throw that into my fire "pit" on wheels. When that fills up I throw it into a metal trash can for a few days and then into the dumpster. I might just start throwing it into the sewer, but I am not sure if I feel like doing that.

I took a dustpan and cut it to fit flush against the egg just below the bottom vent. After using the ashtool to get the ashes into the dustpan I place the ashes in a metal bucket. When I was a kid I was taught to think of a gun as always being loaded. In a similar way I think of ashes as always having hot embers still in them, no matter how long ago the fire was snuffed out. Use a metal bucket, preferably with an airtight lid, and don't place it near anything combustible.

Ten dollars is kinda on the low end. You might get someone like River Pheonix or newly added Jeremy Lusk. Happy bidding.....

I found a metal dustpan kinda thing at a hardware store in the grilling section. It has a long handle and just happened to be a little wider than the bottom vent. Since I put Lula-Q up on her three egg feet, I am able to slide the little ashpan into place, and pull the ashes out. Then I place them into a metal pail that I found at Lowe's for about $7 bucks

I go through that routine about every 3rd cook, and only vaccuum out the Egg before a butt or a brisket. I have a pail about 3/4 full of ash, and didn't know what to do with it. Now I do! :cheer:

I use the olde CI smoker box that I used back in the dark ages when I had a gasser and then over the side of the deck. Be interesting to see this summer if that grass is greener than the "non-treated" areas.
