Quad Santa Fe: Did you guys seal the seams in the ash pan?

[geek]

When I removed the ash pan a couple times I noticed the corners are not sealed/welded all the way from top to bottom, this could cause ash "spills" when walking with the pan to dump the ashes outside if you're not careful.

Have you guys had any issues with ashes coming out the corners or not, did you seal these corners and if so what did you use?

I haven't had any spillage problems w/ my ash pan Geek, but a simple fix for yours is to put a nice smooth bead of HiTemp silicone in the corners and smooth with your fingertip.....that should solve it.

yeah, I actually thought about it and wonder if others have this opening on theirs too.

I noticed the same thing on my Mount Vernon AE but have not done anything about it
