And here, 100. Is another reason why I'm so fond of my Crawford. Tucked in behind those doors in the stove base is pair of interchangeable hods. As soon as II use up the coal in the one on the right, I will take out the one on the left which has been catching the ashes from the chute, and move the other over into it's place. Then can carry the one with ashes down cellar, empty it and bring it back full ofcoal--all in one trip.
 " ~TTS the neatest, cieanest way of
 taking care of the ashes, and so much easier to handle than the old fashioned ash-pan. And I like to be able to keep my coal bod out of sight it makes the kitchen so much tidier.
