We still haven't used the Quad 24/7 , hasn't been cold enough .
But it got me wondering if I'm getting lazy about the ash . I haven't been cleaning it out between fires .
Like tonight , there was about an inch of ash across the whole floor of the stove with some half fist sized unburnt mixed in .
I tossed a couple splits , paper and some pine to get her started and its off to the races .
So ................ ?
Do you clean out the ash before you start a fire ?
If the fires hot enough it seems like the ash will burn ??? true ?
Just wondering ............
( Its an older 3100 WITHOUT the ash pan )
