Yes, indeed, the briquettes produce a lot of ash. For the single barrel model, Rok Oblak designed to have a hole on the side of the burner. You can scrape off the ash on the side while cooking. I found that old hacksaw blade, the one used for cutting iron, suits welll for this, provided that you grind off the remaining teeth in the saw blade. <br>
<br>In my case, i decided to create a second barrel underneath the main fuel shelf. This allows scraping of the ash towards you, not side ways. the second barrel also serves as a porthole for additional incoming hot air thus, boosting the flame further. <br>
<br>I will do some sketches as soon as i have more time. <br><br>Jed <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/6/12 ssemaganda Robert <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ssemarobert@yahoo.com" target="_blank">ssemarobert@yahoo.com</a>></span><br>
