Water and Ash

[midnight a~ 1/4 smoke]

I don't know if this a repeat but thought I would share. It really shows the importance of keeping you Grill or Firebox clean.


I have a habit of dumping my Weber ash tray (cold) over my wall into the alley. I have been doing this for years; dump a few here then there.


I also dump dirt and gravel from the yard along the wall. Today I decided it was time for an alley clean up. I am raking, pulling the dirt about 3 foot from the wall and every time I got to a spot the ash had been dumped it was damp. Made no differance 2" down or 8. All other areas were bone dust dry.


Keep in mine I live in the lower Arizona desert, last time it rained was a few weeks ago.


The ash holds a lot of moisture, so any left in your grill that gets wet can really do some metal damage.
