Ash-pan - A Lesson From History
Granny always, dumped the ashes from her wood cook stove. It is a good clean fire practice from many years ago and remains a good practice today with outdoor water furnace operation.
A durable easy to use galvanized ash-pan is the solution for:
Simple and easy ash removal from the furnace. The Portage & Main Furnace ash-pan is light and user friendly. As with most work, the easier more convenient it is to perform, the less likely we are to put it off.
Removing the unwanted insulation provided by the firepot ashes that prevent the circulating water from picking up and transferring the maximum amount of heat.
Allowing over under combustion air. Over under air gives complete clean burns. Boy Scouts will attest that efficient fires are made when the air can enter from under the fire. Fire pit barbeque masters will concur that the best fires have air from under the fire—the often stress their tip of removing a bottom brick from the fire pit to allow air under the fire. Granny opened the door on her wood cook stove to blow under the embers in the bottom of her firebox to rekindle her fire. Even the women fire burning competitions have women lying on their backs blowing up under their fire to get a better fire burning. Common goal is an efficient clean complete burn.
