This is the ash pan. It is all stainless steel. I added the holes around the edge to help air flow. All of the pieces were silver soldered together.
Here's the grate in position on top of the ash pan. It is supported by the two bars across the ash pan.
This is the knob connected to the pin that allows the ash pan to be removed.
The pan/grate fit into place very well. It is made pretty much to the drawing.
The cover became a bit awkward to use, so this is my second version. It slips out to the side.
Here is the new cover removed. The pin is so the cover does not accidentally fall off onto the track. Having a removable cover on the pan allows most of the ash to be removed without having to drop the entire fire. This is new for this season (2018). Hopefully, I will not have to go back to the steaming bays and dump the entire fire just to dump ashes.
