There is no ash pan. Yes you can remove ash while fire is inside. Most people will rake the hot coals to one side and then scoop the ash out.

There is no ash pan on this model. Honestly, most stoves that have an ash pan are not as air tight as ones without. I agree with the other answer from TheHardwareCityCo...."Yes you can remove ash while fire is inside. Most people will rake the hot coals to one side and then scoop the ash out. "

This stove does not have an ash pan/door. To empty the ashes you will need to shovel or vacuum them out. The ash would need to be cold if using an ash vacuum.

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!

I bought felt gasket for it...on Amazon I think. I haven't put on yet, but it has adhesive and you can cut to fit your needs. The firebox has a removeable pan that hold the coals, it is easily removable to dispose of ashes.

Yes, You do need the Grate.If you are going to use logs.This would allow the fire to burn efficiently, otherwise the Ash would kill the log fire.

You dump out the ashes by flipping over the bottom half--ideally, into a steel container where there is little risk of embers burning the container. You can also line the bottom of the grill with aluminum foil and just remove the foil and ashes after it has cooled.

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. :)

With a sponge. Sometimes a little soap but usually just water. It stays looking brand-new. The ease of cleaning is just one of the many benefits of the stove.

The stove base which holds dry twigs,pine cones or any dry grasses, the stove itself and a grill to fry on the stove base. It also includes a drop in pot holder for the top of the stove/boiler so you can cook in the included pot or heat a can of food ONCE THE TOP HAS BEEN OPENED TO RELIEVE ANY PRESSURE !!So in total, you can boil water while you are cooking/heating another can/pot of food on top of the chimney using only found fuel. I'm not aware of any other way to do so much so simply in 4 minutes.

I could not figure that out either-- but my 8 year-old Granddaughter had no trouble finding it! I think the button is on the side of the fireplace-- not sure about the stove. Children usually know where everything is! Good luck!!

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.

I've been using a wood stove for 22 years, and the best you can do is get a humidifier. putting any pot or can of water on top of stove at best is inefficient and at worse is dangerous, when it runs dry and you're not right there, what happens next? people; if you don't know what you're talking about please say nothing!

Chunks at the beginning and chips if the chunk burns out before the smoke phase is done. If choosing only one, then definitely chunks. I should add that I use a cast iron skillet as my wood tray.

Yes...It's under the bottom burners. It can be removed for cleaning by sliding it out. It's a little stiff at first, but it will come out. I clean mine after I make toast. Did it on my old one also....just makes good sense to keep any thing that gets hot clean. .

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.

Hi Bobbi JeanIf you are using this on a fireplace window it will get the soot off. The glass will always soot up depending on what you are burning. I use it on a pellet stove. and use old newspapers. If you have a tractor supply place they usually have this in stock.

if it is put in the fireplace by itself. no wood can be in the fireplace or any other type of fire going at the same time.

The cooking grate has a slot in the center that you pull off with a tool provided with the unit. The tool can be used to stir the fire, empty the ashes and remove the grate. You can also use it to swivel the top grate. Using a water pan diffuser makes it difficult to add more charcoal, but that's generally reserved for slow cooks, which you should never have to add charcoal for those.
