In my summers heat ssw02 (big firebox) I can't seem to get it all the way down to ashes on every burn or even every other burn. I don't use the ash bin just shovel into my bucket. I usually shovel the ashes out of the bottom of the firebox leaving the hot coals once every 3 or 4 days. I don't let the ashes or coals get above the "doghouse" I also burn mostly ash with very little red oak and maple.
Total so far this season burning basically non stop for a little over 2 months I had about 8 gallons worth of of ashes and unburnt coals.
