I'm quite impressed with how well my new stove burns everything down .
I had lots more ash and coals in my old stove,had to empty it out more frequently .
Just checked my flue too,it's staying a lot cleaner than the other one as well.
When it's really cold out the draft and temp differential is so great that a lot of the heat just goes up the flue. Then you run the stove hotter to try and make up for that loss and you end up with lots of coals,just the nature of the beast no matter what stove you have.
The warmup was a learning experience for me in burning hard-core. I discovered my habit of loading 1 split E/W across the back then N/S on top was killing the 30's airflow and leaving coals, so back to N/S it was. Now, all ash.

I have found that Ash is a great all around wood to burn.
Oh wait..I don't think you meant you were burning Ash wood..lol.
But still I burn mostly ash with good results.
