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.

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
