I can never manage to get it in the fire without some spillage!! (which is what I was wanting to do).

 

 

(as an update, my experiments have paused at the moment for sawdust burning, last one was a stack of 3 bean tins for The Boys to play with, lower one has air vents at the base, drop twigs in the top, it burns OK for them but has no use otherwise - too top heavy to put a mug on, too small to heat any real area, but for the boys playing it does OK.))

Embrace the spillage!

No fire or stove can ever be ash/embers/dust/spillage free.

The box the sawdust was/is in catches most of it, and the dustpan gets most of the rest.

Hours of fun with one of them, plus the pints of hot tea.
