For a clean and safe way to transport ash, look for a stylish ash bucket. This handy tool has an important job, so choose wisely.
Your ash cannot be transported in just any bucket. It needs to be a non-flammable material (such as stainless steel). A lid will also keep flying ash in and curious hands out.
Fill your ash bucket using a flat shovel and attach the lid. Carry the bucket away from the hearth, preferably outside of the house and far from flammables like wood decks, siding or fences. Some people put water in the bucket as well to moisten and dampen the ash, deterring any sparks from lighting up.
Choose an ash bucket that suits your hearth and other accessories. Then use this valuable tool to help with regular wood stove and fireplace maintenance.
