Ash slot? Hi all,
In perusing the many fantastic photos on this site, I've noticed that nobody seems to include an ash slot in the design. On the other hand, I've seen ash slots in a lot of barrel vault ovens (perhaps owing to the popularity of Alan Scott's plans).
Because I plan to do a fair bit of bread baking, I'll be raking out hot coals--so the ash slot (with a metal bucket underneath) seems like a good idea. I know it presents a slight obstacle in the landing area, but other than that, are there strong arguments against it?
Thanks for your opinons!
