Is ash cleanup easy. I see no bottom tray for this.

It's a liftout tray; it gets most of it out. As long as you don't dislodge a burning briquet, it won't be an issue.

The two handles you see on either side of the grill are attached to the coal tray. You remove the grills and then lift out the entire coal pan.

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 use my garden trowel to scoop it out. A tray would make it easier but it isn't to much of a hassle using the trowel.

The clean up is very easy. Just remove lid, slid tray pick up bottom and dump.

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 like to wipe down and dry the tray and rack daily. To remove mineral deposits, try filling the tray with vinegar and soak the grass part in it.

I've owned this little guy for about 3 months now and it keeps a fully loaded batch of charcoal going for 6+ hours! I barely have to touch it. I've actually reloaded a few times and still no problems with ash. This unit comes with a tray that sits in the very bottom to catch the ash, but the way the vents are positioned at the bottom still allow air to flow very nicely.

Funny you should ask now, as I just cleaned and put mine away after making beet and sweet potato chips last week. I'm pretty sure I have seen extra trays available, as well as other extras like fruit strip liners.

I do not have any ash trees so am not sure about the answer to your question.

The bottom has a tray that pulls out and yes there is grate on the bottom over the tray.

I used sand on the bottom then bought pavers to put over the sand and put sand as "leveler" (to make surface smooth) you can sweep up coals up very easily but must have cover as soon as coals die!

Yes - each tray can we wiped out and when all the trays are removed the bottom is completely exposed and can be wiped out as well. Mine is stored when not in use and I have no problems keeping it clean.

In order to remove the bottom grate and change the paper, you must remove the top section. Both of the doors, top and bottom set, open and give lots of room to reach in but you can't clean the bottom that way. I can remove the bottom by myself by lifting one side and propping it on a block of wood that I use for that purpose, then lifting the other side and putting the wood block under. It's not heavy, but is easier if you have a second person. We love this cage. It keeps most of the food and mess contained.

It's my understanding from the reviews that I read before I purchased it that you can NOT put it on the bottom of the oven. I have not tried it as I was afraid that I would either ruin it or be a fire hazard since it was so close to the heating element. One liner I read about melted to the bottom of someones oven. I use it on the bottom rack and it does its job of catching spills. It's very easy to clean. I do wish I could find one that I was sure would work on the very bottom of the oven.

I clean mine every time I have used it the ash won't come out unless it gets to high but that would be a lot of burning.

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. "

Let me clarify my previous answer. There is a separate crumb tray that drops down and also can be removed.DigiStorePA, Inc.
