Funny, the article you linked to specifically says no grate is needed once you build up an ash layer. The stove in the link is the exact same model i have too.
But yeah, i thought about it. We'll see what I come up with.
We heat our house most of the winter with our Jotul wood stove and my biggest mistake the first year was emptying out the ash layer. Let it build up a couple inches think and leave it.
If you could disassemble it and put it in a large tupperware container with a couple gallons of evaporust it should bring it back 90% of the way. Drain the evaporust through a coffee filter and reuse it for another project.
