I am not sure how this happened but the ash grate broke in two spots! The odd thing is that I never noticed until the other night. We haven’t over fires the stove that I remember This has been a superb stove for us I’m very disappointed right now. O well we got ahold of the stove shop and they are on it.
Yes it lifts out easily I’m wondering about that myself.... We haven’t used the ash pan I years it gets opened once a year specifically to inspect the stove and then I ignore it. The ash pan works good but honestly it’s harder to use the pan than scoop one scoop before each load...
Ah! I remember those days of burning with a stove that had grates. Just a matter of time with the fire built right on them. Last time it happened, I had a local welding shop fab up a set of grates...just out of round stock and they worked fine.
