When you look at an Allen Scott design, most of the ovens have an ash drop. Just curious as to why they are not incorporated on the pompeii style oven.

I considered it when building my oven, but I just couldn't see how it really made a lot of sense in the end in terms of usefulness. I take the ashes out on my peel and dump them in a metal trash can.
