... 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.

I picked this up for $0.99, when Target had them on clearance recently. It's great for moving around the charcoal baskets, adjusting the coals and lifting the hot grate. I was using my grill brush before I got this.

On the only daisy-wheel I've ever used, and now still have, I employ a skinny version of that to poke through the intakes during a cook in case they get clogged with ash. Usually preceded by me walking around the yard for 3 minutes to find the *perfect* tool.

For the charcoal I use tongs like other folks and for the grates or other such things I have a nomex glove that looks sorta like this that I use.  It's good to like 485 degrees.  I used to use a pair of welders gloves but this definitely retards the heat way, way more.
