Thanks Keith (as always!). O.S 3/4" Britannia also has side doors to remove the ashes. (I haven't made the dampers for the Maisie yet! - -but your drawing is still on the desk top) Geoff Royce, If you go back through my original posting, you will see that the door on the side is the cinder clean out. The dampers are the doors on the front and back of the ash pan. The only time the side door is opened, is to remove the accumulated ash, and any small clinkers that made it through the grates. Large clinkers can also be removed there, but only by dumping the "drop grate" and pushing the large clinker off of the rocking grates, onto the hinger drop grate. The side door is not used for firing control.

You know, I just re-visited Vance's photo and it appears that there is a hinged thingy on the side of the firebox as opposed to the front or back. Am I mis-reading the photo ? royce
