Fireplace ashtray

Abstract

This invention is a metal tray that is removed quickly and easily from the fireplace after burning firewood. It must be manually transported to a disposal receptacle for dumping ash then returned to the fireplace thus greatly eliminating messy cleanup.

I make the following claims in regards to my Fireplace Ashtray:  
     
         1 . It encourages the use of expendable natural resources. 
 More wood would be used since much of the drudgery of cleaning is eliminated.    
     
     
         2 . Fireplaces can be cleaned using a few easy steps. 
 It saves time.    Most people using this product can clean fireplaces within minutes.    
     
     
         3 . There is minimal clean-up mess. 
 No vacuum cleaners or fireplace shovels are used which may scatter particles    There is significantly less airborne particles or dust to contend with.
