believed to be completely cool, can lead to a fire.
Protective gloves should be worn anytime ash is removed. Dump all ash into a proper ash container and
remove to a safe outdoors area. Remember that although the ash may look and feel cool to the touch, a
smoldering ember can start a fire. CAUTION: Care should be used to store any ash in a proper container
with an approved airtight lid. If ash is taken outside, water should be poured over the ash to ensure no fire
flare up can occur.
