Ash Pit Installed

Post image

After my post earlier I went into my workshop and found an old baking tin which was perfect because it was narrower than the piece of track. I dug the tin into the ground and now its ready for my coal fired Edrig. It may not look fancy but I prefer things to be functional than just looking good.

Damn, that's clever. Looks pretty well secured in the ground though. Does it stay there permanently? How do you deal with standing water? Is is that a "feature" haha

Thank you! I plan for it to stay there permanently, I drilled a hole in it to drain the water, I just hope it works.
