Jim, I'm sure you mean ashes in the insert. Aches I have in my old bones. It sounds like something was being blocked. I normally let the ashes go as long as possible, but it may depend on the insert. What make/model are you burning in?

They are real helpful and they help me with my old pellet stove also. that i put it in this year been setting in pole barn to. Had to update electric panel or controls.
