ABSTRACT:
The invention herein relates to ash catchers for woodstoves of the type adapted to be inserted into an existing fireplace. The ash catcher includes a generally horizontal pan supported along the front edge by a pair of fixed legs. A third leg is pivotally secured to the pan and is biased to a downward position for supporting the rear edge of said pan. When placed in a position for catching ashes from a woodstove, the rear leg is pivoted upwardly against the underside of the pan which rests upon the fireplace hearth. The ash catcher further includes an attached top for covering the ash pan to prevent ash from spilling when the ash catcher is transported. The ash pan also includes a hinged rear wall that is positionable between closed and open positions. When the ash pan is in the open position, a rear wall opening is formed in the ash pan such that ashes can be swept therefrom.
