Not only that, but can be really enjoyable to sitaround with the whole family relaxing. But anything that gives this muchpleasure, comes at a price. In this instance it is the maintaining of the fireand taking care of it that takes effort. Although, totally worth it in the end.As anybody with a real fire knows, they produce a lot of ash and soot, mostcollects and builds up in the ash pan and grate but a quantity does get stuckup the chimney itself. Chimneys only get cleaned a few times a year so thatsnothing to worry about but it is vital you clean the grate and ash pan afterevery burning of the fire to avoid build up but make sure it has cooled beforeclearing it away as you do not want to hurt yourself and get burnt. The averagetime to leave it to cool down is probably over night. This just ensures youarent going to hurt yourself.Tocheck it has cooled down wear gloves and have a dig around or use a shovel toseparate it if you genuinely believe it will be too hot to touch. The coolingtime does depend on the density of the ash and what fuel you used to burn it soif you do not feel comfortable touching have a dig around with a small shovel.Once you know it is ready to dispose, remove the front of the fire and take theash pan and empty it into a special galvanised bin. This is heat proof so willnot damage if there are still hot ashes in the pan. Once you have done thisthen give the fire area a sweep with a brush and shovel to get rid of anyexcess ash and soot that didnt make the ash pan. Ash can be re-used dependingwhether it is toxic or not so once it is cooled, dispose of it properly orstore it for other uses. When disposing of the ashes andfinding other uses there are a few key points to remember. Wood ashes areextremely useful for use in gardens and allotments as they really enrich soil.This is because they contain things like potassium and calcium with are reallyuseful nutrients for plant growth. Also if you have soil that is acidic then itwill give it a more alkaline influence and balance it out. Wood ash can alsoprevent slugs and other nuisance creatures getting to your plants if you placeit round the foot of the plants. Soot can also be used for the same things asthis too helps put back nutrients in soil.Coal ash is good to melt ice on your drivewayor paths if it has snowed or is generally cold. If you think of it this way,you only use your fire when it is cold so its more likely to snow also meaningyou have a use for unwanted ash.
