What do you guys do with your ashes and what do you do with your clinkers?
I bag my ashes and send them off to a landfill. Clinkers I throw into the gravel pit.
Just curious as to what everyone does. :nice:

Most of my ashes go out with the trash. Some I use on the driveway for traction. Don't get any clinkers with my stoker.

The next town over to me actually accepts coal ashes and mixes them with their road salt. During an ice storm or winter snow, I use them on the driveway/dirt road. I also have neighbors that accept them as well.

They get tossed in my ever-growing coal ash mountain I built across the street. 8-)
