I have had mine going now since mid October and have only emptied ash once.  About three 5 gallon buckets is all.  I am pretty sure I read in the manual to empty ash once it reaches bottom of door, that's about six inches from bottom.  If that wasn't the most efficient way to heat, I'm sure central boiler would recommend emptying ash more often.  I just stir it up good everyday and seems to be workin fine for me.

Ive been burning since mid september and have took out almost 1 gallon of ash.... 

The way things are going I could go all winter on less than a 5 gallon bucket of ash

I don't miss packing the ash pan to the creek bank
