I tried the search function, but could not find what I was lookign for.
For those of you with an Oslo, what have you done besides not using the front door have you done to make the stove spill less ash into the room when opening the front door.
So far I love the stove and when its running full tilt I use the side door for reloading, but I find it much easier to build fires from scratch via the front door, since its shoulder season right now, i find myself building alot of fires from scratch. Everytime I open the front door after using the stove, even opening it slowely, i get a nice dump of ashes on to the ash lip. Is this an annoyance I just have to live with? Im not a fan of vacuuming up the mess as I dont want to suck a hot ash into my vacume cleaner and burn the house down. Using a dust pan and broom still leaves a mess.
Have any of you found a way to resolve this issue or do i just need to deal with it?
Another reason I would like to resolve this ash issue is because it woudl be nice to load some of my shorties N+S without reaching my arm 2 feet into a hot stove via the side door, or having hot burnign ashes fall out the front door.
