... I either dump my ash into my large bucket or ...
How large is large? With my SJ I wind up spilling ash on the ground because some ash is inside the bowl, some is in the ash pan. Same problem with my SJP because removing the ash pan is a PITA.
Somewhat ironically I haven't yet seen the benefit of the WSM scoop for the WSM since all the ash there is collected in one spot and it's easy to just dump it all ... in a bucket.
I know I'm doing something wrong.
