Just sayin'.

I've cooked on it several times and have never had this happen, but different strokes for different folks. I also have never used the grate and pretty much only pop the lid to pull the food.
In my experience lump leaves less ash not more, maybe it has to do with the intakes on your big drum? I will keep an eye out when I fire it up this weekend.
