I see reviews on moving logs but what about carrying the hot ash pan from the woodstove to dump outisde

That is what I use them for, keeps the heat off my hands from the ash pan. Good strong gloves.

Rebecca, I don't really know how long you would be holding onto the pan but if you are only going from inside to outside, not really 100 yards away I think you would be fine. I have never used it for that purpose, just for reaching inside the stove box and placing logs over a bed of glowing ashes and I have been good. Even something on fire but I'm quick about it.

The best way to handle this is to line the bottom with aluminum foil. Take care to not cover the vents in the side. I can usually do four to five cooks before emptying the ashes. If you are careful lifting the foil you will get 95% of the ashes and can just brush the rest out or dump.

To dump ash, lift stove by handles and turn upside down and give a couple of shakes. I empty into a metal bowl and then throw on kitchen compost bin. Keeps fruit flies down. Or dump in garden or on lawn. A full meal's burn will give 1/2 cup of ashes or less.

VERY easy. There is a pull out tray that catches all the ashes and you just pull it out and dump it. I actually dump it in my grass for fertilizer.

The easiest for me would be a log spud. I spudded over 100 white pine logs over 35' each for a log home by hand with couple of log spuds. It's more like knocking the bark off with the weight of the spud. That way, you don't degrade the log itself with a log wizard or something that would grind and degrade the log. My opinion.

yup you burn it in the stove. Suppost to use every time you put wood in but about a teaspoon a day should work, if its an outside boiler- use about 2 teaspoons a day. should work well.

No.I've grabbed many burning logs with no problem. Great oven mitt for sure :)

The lava rocks cool off extremely fast. Typically within 5 minutes, we are packing up the Firebowl. Unsure how durable ceramic logs would be if you plan to frequently move the Firebowl. The lava rocks seem to be a good choice for a mobile product. They simply leave dust as they degrade with use and the abuse of moving the unit.

my husband uses this and he said you have to keep refilling it until it burns down to ashes then you have to dump and refill again. and you can by the chips on amazon, or lowes has the best on and very inexpensive for the bag. about 4.00 to 5.00 a bag depends on the wood.

Sure, no problem. I often start the wood with miscellaneous paperwork. Always have the screen on top and be aware paper can generate more flying ash than wood.

You could hold a hot dog on a stick in the fire. You place the firewood on the rack inside. I wouldn't try to cook the on the top.

I suggest writing the manufacturer to play it safe. From my own experience, I don't think wood is going to be an issue as the concentrated blue flames of a gas micro/pocket rocket leave no damaging effects. Few open wood fires burn that hot. Large orange flames in the Bioliite Stove could be a concern as XTS Pot has a plastic lid, and the plastic on the handles will melt.

You should be good for a few seconds. I move hot coal with no problems or damage to the globes.

You can but once you place your logs; you'd want the area cleared before you start your fire. We have a gas fireplace and I am assuming you do as well.

We put hot wood ashes from the camp fire and cook steaks with it. It is not big enough for any logs, but you could use small stuff and wood chips. It is habachi style.

I suppose you could, but I would use a metal tool and save the gloves for handling a hot metal tool. You could burn a hole into them handling a burning log directly. You might get away with a quick flick, but they act more as as shield. I cook very hot when I cook sometimes and they are comfortable to wear even when its hot outside.

You can move baskets ( with tongs) to spread out or to move heat away from food for indirect cooking. We occasionally dump coals on grate, too. It all works quite well.
