This is exactly what I do. Spread the ashes in the yard/garden many weeks after they are created.
I don't have any fear of the can getting blown over. The lid fits very securely and it has a good amount of weight. Plus like yours, ours is in an area protected from the wind.

I put my ashes in a metal bucket and promptly carry them over to the lake and dump them in. usually i can find a non frozen spot to dump them. I make it a strict point that the stove does not get relit after a cleaning until after the lake trip (and a double check to make sure i took the leaf blower off the vent)
anything from the shop vac goes right in the metal bucket too and gets dumped as well in the water. then the vac sits on clear pavement till the next day before it goes back in the garage.

this is absurd, once my stove goes out after 15-20 mins fan stop's blowing there's nothing but cold ash, no unburnt pellet's, must be a pusher type stove, reminds me here in Ct lady was awarded 5 million because her BF dumped some ashes on christmas eve and left them on the porch of a old house, the builder restoring the house had to pay for a stupid mistake nothing to do with him

Wasn't her boyfriend the contractor? Her three kids and her father died. That's how I remember it.
