in older wood stoves leaving a one inch layer of ash will protect the fire brick and help make your wood last longer by slowing the air movement around the wood. you can always adjust the air inlet and damper to properly control the fire. I use and old Fisher wood stove. LOVE IT!

Thank you kwik!

@Broncort1 i doesn't really matter what ever works best for you thats what you do.

@Broncort1 yes you are suppose to leave a 1 inch layer at the bottom of a grateless wood burning stove..it tells you in the manual..also you can use the white ash on a wet paper towel to clean and shine the glass..

@kwikshowmehow2 I had never heard of it before either, but that was because I always had a stove with an ash grate and catch basin. For stoves without the basin you should leave about an inch layer to insulate the bottom of the stove. I guess it reduces wear on the bottom, and helps keep the fire at an even temperature. Some people empty everything out and put a half to one inch of sand on the bottom, works just as well.

Its erie how much you sound like Mr. Rogers....lol. On a serious note, I've been told to leave a 1 inch ash pile spread evenly on the bottom, yet your cleaning everything. Have you heard of this and what do you think?

I have never heard of that, and I've used wood heat for some time. The remnant ash prevents air circulation, which is a bad thing - especially when starting a fire.

How would you clean the parts that have fused with the bottom of the fireplace?

I use a heavy 1" scraper for most. Somoetimes a gentle hammer tap on the scraper will lift off an entire section. We must burn a lot of pine, so we do get some buildup that requires some solvent. Use chimney cleaning solvents.
