I use a steel drum with lid. It's smaller than a 55 gal, maybe a 35 gal. You can see it on the right in the photo. I let the shove cook down then move the ash on top to one side and take the bottom ash and shovel it into the barrel. I use a couple/few 5 gal buckets of water and alternate ash and water and move/stir it around with a 4' piece of rebar. When full cover with lid and after a couple of days wheel it out with a handtruck and dump in the garden or field. Of course I don't do this on a windy day. I have used this system for the pasted 7 years with no worries. The drum now has a couple of small holes in it so I will need a new one in a year or two. When not using the drum for that I store it up close to the door and pile the wood on it that I will load in the stove that night. This saves me from bending down to get the wood and leaving the door open while I move the wood from the back of the shed to the door. I would not use a galvanized garbage can as burning galvanize is no good for your lungs. The one you see in my photo is not used for hot ash.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
