REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF ASHES
You can leave a thin layer of ashes in the firebox if
preferred. Allow fire to die down or go out completely.
It is important to prevent ashes from building up
around the front door opening or they will spill out, or
they can pack into the gasket channel and prevent
proper sealing. To remove ashes, use a fireplace
shovel. Avoid removing large live coals by pushing
them to the side and removing only the finer ash with
a shovel.
Disposal of ashes - Ashes should be placed directly
into a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Do not
place any other items or trash into the metal
container. Do not pour water into the container.
Replace the container’s lid and allow the ashes to
cool. Never place the ash disposal container on a
combustible surface or vinyl flooring, as the container
could be hot!
Pending disposal, place the closed ash container on
a non-combustible floor or on the ground outside, well
away from all combustible materials, liquid fuels, or
vehicles. Retain ashes in the closed container until all
coals thoroughly cool.
If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or
otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained
in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
NEVER place ashes in wooden or plastic containers,
in trashcans with other trash, or in paper or plastic
bags, no matter how long the fire has been out.
Coals within a bed of ashes can remain hot for
several days once removed from the firebox.
