 Re: Ash slot?
I like the concept of an ash slot with a catch can or basin directly underneath.
The problems are as previously stated - I am not willing to block my wood storage (this is my primary and basically only area to store wood out of the elements and have it easily accessible). I am also not willing to give up the floor of my entry, I make much more than pizza; I need to be able to slide my large roasting pans in without obstruction or without lifting over a large hole in the floor - as I found with a 16 lb turkey - I need every fraction of every inch of clearance to get it into the oven.
I guess I could have designed my oven to accomodate an ash slot, but after reading this forum, decided the benefits were just not there for the oven I was planning. Maybe with a bigger oven, bigger entry, another place to store wood....hey, perfect excuse for version 2.0 (if I had the energy and time).
Ed, if you can make it work (and not be in the way), what the heck, go for it.
The brush and shovel method into a bucket can be messy (wind sucks) and can be a pain in the butt. Since your still in the planning stages, maybe you can design a better mouse trap....Good luck
