Cleaing out your firebox?
For those out there with a Big baby DB or similar, do you have any tricks or reccomendations for cleaning out your firebox, other than taking a shovel to the coals? I'm using the fire door from the Vogelzang kit and not the big side door design.

A transfer shovel for the big pieces, a wet/dry vac for the rest

I know this won't work if you have close by neighbors, but I use a Leaf Blower - LOL it works great, but makes a hell of a cloud.

If you had used an open head drum for the FB it would be very easy to pop of the lid and rake it out.
I like the leaf blower Idea
