Handling ash on my offset

How does everybody handle their ash during cooks when it builds up? What tools do you use to remove it?

A small fireplace shovel works well, if you have a side door.

I should have been more clear in my original post. I use a raised basket in my firebox and was wondering what tools are best for removing the ash under the basket during cooks.
