I like to dump mine in a coffee can, label it "Grandma", and place it next to the garbage cans on trash day.
Cracked me up!

I collect it in metal can, after a while I put in trash bag and let it sit outside for at least 2 weeks then put in trash. I just can't image what some ambers could do to a trash truck
Lump, real charcoal, just leaves carbon as its residue. You can incorporate it into a compost bin as it’s good for soil. It’s THE reason I barely use briqs anymore. The residual ash and smell of briqs on direct cooks is unappealing, once you’ve had lump to cook direct heat with.Reviving an old thread instead of making a new one because I am curious what is a good way to dispose of used charcoal briquette ashes.
I have read these briquette ashes aren’t great for the garden.
Also I am wondering if anyone has a method of dumping ashes and separating/reusing briquette remnants.
This question pertains to briquette ashes, but if anyone burning lump charcoal has and suggestions, let me know. I know there is less ashes with these and lump coal ashes might actually be good in the garden.
I get what your saying about briquettes.Lump, real charcoal, just leaves carbon as its residue. You can incorporate it into a compost bin as it’s good for soil. It’s THE reason I barely use briqs anymore. The residual ash and smell of briqs on direct cooks is unappealing, once you’ve had lump to cook direct heat with.
JMO, YMMV.
I toss my briq ash into a container and dump then when the container is full. So maybe 2x a year now.
Buy some Jealous Devil and cook direct with it. Save your briq’s for LAS (not the airport but low and slow) cooks. You’ll use les JD than briq on direct cooks and recycle your extinguished JD into your next cook. My own consumption shows I use less fuel using JD than when I cooked with KPro. And food tastes better, IMO. This is for direct heat cooks. I use my KPro stash for overnight LAS cooks. When I’m done with KPro I’ll use lump, JD, exclusively.I get what your saying about briquettes.
I got six bags of them when I bought my grill used.
I will probably give the lump a go once my briquette supply is extinguished.
Thanks!
That’s what I do as well.sell them on eBay
I'm glad this post came back if nothing else so I could see this one.I like to dump mine in a coffee can, label it "Grandma", and place it next to the garbage cans on trash day.
Yes, that is the real reason is revived this thread instead of making a new one…true story!I'm glad this post came back if nothing else so I could see this one.
So you think your ash is better than my ash;-)Ash from lump is good for gardens, but I've heard that ash from briquettes isn't
Reminds me of Seinfeld:So you think your ash is better than my ash;-)
