Ash Dump Doors

Ash Dump Doors

Ash dump doors are the small brick-sized doors located in the bottom of most fireplaces. They allow you to sweep ashes into an ash pit located through the doors under your fireplace. Due to intense heat and corrosion damage, ash dump doors need frequent replacing.

Our ash dump doors are constructed of 16 gauge powder coated steel or 304 stainless steel. They fit the standard 4” x 8” ash dump opening in the floor of the firebox. These ash dump doors feature a center pivot door so the homeowners can use their fireplace tools to open and close them by pushing on the rear section.

Cleanout Doors

Chimney cleanout doors allow you easy access into the chimney flue to clean out buildup and debris. They also allow an expert the access needed to perform a thorough chimney inspection.

Thin doors are easily damaged and can affect the draft flow of your chimney. Chimney Cricket will inspect the current state of your chimney cleanout door and recommend the best replacement material. Cast iron cleanout doors are usually the best choice because they are designed to withstand damage and heat. They will fit airtight and help maintain a proper draft flow. A wide range of sizes from standard to oversized are available to meet your needs.
