Stove needs emptied already

Got back from moose camp ,
wife has been burning 24 / 7
Stove needs emptied, lots of charcoal chunks to burn up.
Did a coals burn down, & got a lot more room but when it quits raining
It'll stil get emptied.

Loading a 3/4 load every 24 hrs.
not burning hot don't usually create so many coals, but I'm not complaining
she likes the house warm, near 75 & did good.

Burn season is here.

 

Do you use an ash rake Dave? I finally got around to making one last year, and I shoveled probably half as many times.

I spent a lot of time burning up coals when I got home from my overnight routes. Wife just kept the house warm.

 

Yea made a rake
helps a lot.
Wife does good but it takes a little extra to do a coal burn down.
I'm OK with her methods, I tend to tinker more with the stove, she just wants the heat

 

Used an old garden rake, cut the handle & wrapped some foil around it

 

You are cleaning out the stove and I haven't even put wood up by the house yet Bogy but it'll be here soon enough.

Eric VW there was a thread last year I believe with different ash rakes folks have come up with. Here's the one I made up.

 

75F seems too warm for me. But my wife also likes that temp and will complain until I get the house up to temp. I was able to run around in boxer shorts, but now with the kids living upstairs, I never know when the grand kids will come barging in.
