    I know this is kinda like buying a 4 cylinder coupe and then complaining about the lack of room and limited towing capacity....

    The ash pan on inserts is pretty darn small. Once the ash builds up just a bit, it’ll start to block the air holes on the bottom of the burn pot housing and effect the burn.

    I’ve done a few mud burn pan dumps, but still prefer a full shutdown and clean out.

    Hey, still beats burning oil.

    Cookie sheet ash pan :

    I’m amazed at the difference of the freestanding version of these stoves have regarding ash pan depth.

    I should put it next to an actual cookie sheet for comparison!
