Newbie Question: Coal bed builds up to fast

[gyrfalcon]

I've got similar issues on our Tribute.
What I've found that works the best is to push all the coals to the far left side of the box,
and "bank" a new load of firewood N/S, tucked agaist the right side.
Doing it this way I can go for days before having to scoop out any ash,
and it burn the coals down to nothing.

Oh, wow. That's a great idea. I will definitely try that. The only problem being a sufficient supply of 8-inch wood...

Many thanks.

Sometimes I think we ought to start a "tiny firebox" forum since the dynamics seem to be so different from the larger ones.

That IS a cool idea. Will try it.

Fortunately I've cut a lot of this year's wood supply down to about that size.
Actually, I've also found that the "lincoln log" stack also works well when I load to that side too.

Go get yourself some Pine. Toss 2 splits on top of that bed of coals. You will reduce your coals and the amount of ash in your stove.
