We recently bought a small metal trash can with a lid. Drone has been
using it for an ash bucket when the wood furnaces need cleaned out.
With the lid on, it smothers any "fire" left in the ashes. When the
ashes are cool, he sifts them through his dirt sifter screen that he
made (to sift rocks from dirt), and voila! What's left is lump charcoal. He has about 10 lbs of
it so far for use next summer in the grill.
As far as the house goes, he's been sweeping up all the drywall dust and caulking & prepping the kitchen for paint.
What a little project sifting for charcoal!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you guys are making lots of headway on the house! Getting closer & closer all the time!
