Safe Ash Handling
Ash may contain hot coals and must be treated with
extreme care. Ashes should be placed outdoors in a
metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed con-
tainer of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible
floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are dis-
posed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,
keep them in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled. Wood ash may be used as a gar-
den fertilizer.
CAUTION: Never use a vacuum cleaner to remove
ash from the stove; always remove and dispose of the
ashes properly.
