What kind of pit and how do you do it?
I just usually poor the ash out just before the cook. I don't bother wiping the ash out with a paper towel.
Maybe I shouldn't be doing it this way, but I always seem to forget to clean out the pits after 24-48 hours of letting the coals completely die down (although my Mini WSM coals go out in a few hours pretty much all the way it seems).
Maybe I should be wiping the ashes out?
A weber rep told me that ash isn't good for the propeller vent in the kettles.
Hasty bake says to clean out foil lined ash pan after every cook. I don't line it with foil and it has accumalated about 5 cooks worth of lump ash (not much ash since lump charcoal but still.. lol)
I can't see ash hurting the mini wsm or wsm 18.5.. since they are porcelain lined bowls.
I just feel it's all such a mess right now is why I ask.. looked at all my bbq pits and they are loaded with ash and half burnt lump. :smile:
