I’m surprised no one had yet mentioned emptying hot ash and coals into a 6gal Home Depot metal trash bucket. After 5-6 days of running my stove I just wait till the morning, stir coal bed around for an hour or two to get most of the remaining heat out then just shovel what’s left into the galvanized bucket with tight fitting lid and set it outside away from the house for a day. It’s cold by the evening and ready for the next load on top of the previous.
