[QUOTE="stirner, post: 2861803, member: 44287"] There's an ash bin in the bottom of the stove, so there must be a shaker somewhere. The house I was raised in had a coal furnace. I remember the coal truck would back up to the side of the house, and stick a chute thru a basement window, to drop the coal into the coal bin. That would kick up some dust!!!!!!!! Before shoveling more coal onto the fire, you had to crank the shakers to get the ash into the ash bin. It seems there were at least 3 on the furnace. Since the furnace was in continuous operation,the ash was always hot. He used a 5 gal paint can with lid as kind of a silent butler to carry the ash outside and spread on the field. No problem with fires, as there was usually a foot of snow on the ground. [/QUOTE]
