take two ~ 4 by 71/2 inch baking tins, bend ears back, put on both sides of burn pot.
saves on how much goes into vac.

Well that's handy. I can't help but notice the fine ash you've got in there. Dang, my ash always looks hard and gritty. More of a square ash cake than fine loose ash.
 
That was Lignetics white bag blue letters, last years stuff. Now its Dry Creek, I also am getting heavy, black- gritty wants to lump together ash. While it's running I open the door and spoon out the burn pot into the ash pans.

Bum, nice idea....maybe a pic of the pans when the stove is clean so we can see how you did it.

As for the ash, the "grittiness" or lack of has to do mainly with the brand of pellets being burned. The light grey stuff in your pic looks just right.
 
I just bent the end ears up. The end where you would grab them to get out of the oven.
They just set inside next to the burn pot. The pans I found are about 4 by 7 1/4 to 1/2 inches long.
If the burn pot is not vertical one side will be tighter than the other.
