[AT] oil dry

[Stephen Offiler]

Wood ash!  Wow, interesting idea, Charlie.  I do use it for de-icing the
walkways, but since my woodstove grate is kind of coarse, I get plenty of
small chunks of wood coals mixed in the ashes, and you know how tenacious
carbon black is...  so, I only use it on walkways and curtail it near the
house.

I've been using kitty litter (we have three cats) mixed with sawdust, and I
tend heavier on the sawdust because I have a lot of it and I'm sort of
frugal ;-)  Now I've gotta try to mix in some wood ash as well.  Definitely
need to figure out some kind of sifter to remove those coals.

SO
