Back on the serious topic, just had a post shared on Facebook, a Woodstock owner's CO alarm triggered, he went outside and called the fire brigade. Nothing obvious on first inspection. Then they disturbed the ash bucket. The guy used to let it fill up, sitting by the fire, then he would empty it. It was glowing under the apparently cool surface ash. So don't leave ash hanging about indoors to cool, take it outside.

I've heard of that happening before..i think its something people do not generally know...maybe a warning should be included in stove instructions...if anyone reads all them.

Well of course you don't leave the ash bucket inside all a-smouldering like Mount Etna. Another old story is 4 years ago when we borrowed our boat for the first time, before departing we were doing the final cleaning and tidying up and I was removing the ash from the stove. The Witch gave me a plastic carrier bag to put it in, and then I said, well give us one that doesn't have a hole in it you daft old bat. When a lump of coal sizzled through the second bag I thought duh! Although lumps of coal look dead and aren't glowing, they can still be active beneath their dull surface. We take our ash bucket out straight away after decanting the stove.
