Yes. That's the only downside to this grill. Other than that it's great! Grilling on it right now

Once everything has cooled off, you have to manually scoop it out or dump the grill out into a big trash can

You can make small dust pan from hard papers and used it , some times I wash the grill and thats how I dump the ash and if I dont then I made me a paper dust pan

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!

There is a little tool to clean the ashes out that I don't have personally. I just use a fireplace poker and hold a bucket under the door. Just make sure your fire has been out for a day or so!

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.

I had a bunch of recycled flat pavers that I stacked 5 rows high. I then set the fire pit on top of it. So far, I've occasionally emptied out the ash made by fires and it works great!

For the stand, open up the enclosed aluminum rectangle. I like to use an aluminum pie plate to catch the ashes.

Yes it is very easy to empty out the ashes. Since it cools very quickly, I use a cleaning wipe to remove the stuck-on ashes on the bottom.

use the scoop and put on a hot fire,preferably a bed of red hot coals, works great for myself. RCM

Empty the ashes is all thats really called for. Clean the Grill is you are using it. In the Summer Ive taken a hose to it, water wont hurt.

Together dumps it. The picture shown is all the way open. Pull apart to grab the soil.

Slide the red button on the side of the canister. The bottom will open and then you can dump the dirt.

Like has been mentioned, just turn it upside down and shake it out, there isn't a lot of ash, but what you get is a very fine , white ash. I collect this in a bin, and when there is enough, mix it with diatomaceous earth and peat moss , and put it in the chicken coop. The chickens LOVE to take dust baths in it!

use ash from fp. when it's cold, dip a damp cloth in the ash and scrub the glass. Another review mentioned this when I was looking for a glass cleaner. Works great!! no $$$ : )

There is a tray on the bottom of this that the level hinges connect to. Once I remove the grates, I lift the hinges up with the tray to get it out of the barrel, take the hinges off, place inside a plastic grocery bag and gently tilt the tray to pour out the ashes so as not to stir up too much ash dust. :)

I will leave the charcoal in the baskets. If I don't want to use baskets I will just pour charcoal onto grate over the igniter to lightthem.

I would make a fure,if that is still possible, get the wood hot, then pour a couple scoops of Rutland,over the hot coals. The heat activates the chemical. You may have to build a couple of fires, until that creosote turns brown, then it is dried out
