My arch has a draft/ash clean out door, no ash container, it's just open under the grates. I only need to remove ash about every 50-60 hrs of boiling (which means I sometimes remove ash once mid season and again after the season, other time I only need to clean them out after the season.). I do however have high pressure AUF/AOF. At any rate, don't leave ashes in the bottom after the season is over. They will absorb moisture from the aair and then they will eat into the steel.

Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
