Composting ash and water/grease?

Has any body tried dumping the ash and water/grease mixture from the water pan into a compost pile? Seems like it should work, but I can picture a few potential problems:
1) ash from K might have too much non-biological material?
2) grease from water pan might create too much odor in decomposing?
3) smoke residue might build up and also cause pile to smell.

Just curious if anyone has tried it.
 
You can compost ash from spent lump, but never ash from K. Too many nasty's. Also, greasy water in the compost bin will attract rodents, etc. Do not add.
