Is the charcoal plate removeble? For easy disposal of ashes.

Yes. The plate it is simple to remove; just lift it out and dump the ashes.

Yes, you can remove the grill plates to get to the bottom and scoop out the ashes.

Yes. Charcoal goes in the bottom ring and a couple pieces in the top ring. This is a great cooker!!

Get yourself a grillbasket. I use a stainless steel Weber intended for holding food, but I use it to hold charcoal or wood. After the fire dies, I can gently lift it out and sift 99% of the ashes wherever I want. What's left underneath is easy to wipe or vacuum out, Any unburnt coals are left for reuse.

The regular Kettles I've used for 20 years have the same ash cleaner as the big kettle. Never had a problem stirring up ash.Honestly I don't think you need to deal with the ash at all if you use the charcoal holders that come standard with the big kettle.Those think make clean up much much easier. Happy Bar-B-Que ing

absolutely... you have a base of sand and then brick if you like so charcoal should be no problem.

Yes. Just be cautious of fire temp. If you get it really high you will warp the charcoal grate

Yes you can remove the screws and it gives you access to the activated carbon....obviously nobody is going to recommend doing it yourself because it is practically impossible to self fill and get all of the air spots out of in between the charcoal thus making it much less efficient than just dishing out the money to buy a new one. This filter has been on 24/7 in a stinky room of mine and has been going strong 3 months now. I am going to reverse the airflow by changing the flange to other side very soon though, but it is still scrubbing bad smells fine.

Dont have a fire place so, I dont know if clean ashes. I would recommend to go to Armor website and send them an e-mail with your question. I hope this help you

Yes. The grill uses only a small amount of charcoal and most just burns down to ashes. You can also put a sheet of aluminium foil on the bottom of the grill and fold up the ashes once cool. I have not found this to be a problem. I think it is a great product.

We think so. The ash catcher makes for easy disposal and also has air vent adjusters for better air flow and better heating. Hopes this helps!

If you can use wood logs I can't think of any reason why you couldn't use charcoal. The grate openings for the ashes are small enough that the briquettes wouldn't fall through. So should work. Probably easier to cook pizza with.

This is the standard model - no removable grill plates. This is not a problem for me, since it is easily cleaned with a damp sponge and wiped with paper towels, given the nonstick surfaces. This is the third of this type I have had, over a number of years, because the non-stick surfaces do eventually wear out.

Yes, you can take the stones out easily and replace it with charcoal. It's a very effective filter. I also pack pillow floss on top and it leaves my water crystal clear with an additional big air powered foam filter and a strong over sized air pump. Feed plenty every 2 days and you don't even have to replace the filter media for up to 4 months.

I don't believe it needs to be removed. My fire pit has crushed stone in the base, and then the top 2" is the glass fire beads. It would cost a fortune to fill with the beads. Hope this is helpful.

We've had the grill on a wooden deck since Christmas, and have used the charcoal side numerous times, with no problems. I have not noticed any goals or ashes escaping from the grill. I am comfortable with having it on my deck.

Not really. The fire pit is a removable sheet metal tray so you can empty the ashes. Since it just drops into the frame, it does not conduct heat to the frame very much.

Easy, yes, but also messy. You'll want to open the charcol over the trash can because it will spill all over the place. It's a little difficult to get the charcoal into the white filter thing with the blue frame inside. I usually just fill the white filter up with the charcoal & then shove the blue frame inside.
