The bakhoor burner comes with a removable perforated tray that allows ash to fall through and collect in its base dish. Once charcoal and bakhoor have been exhausted and the metal part is cold, the perforated tray may be removed and ash can be tipped out and discarded in a safe way. Please note that the upper metallic part of the burner should not be touched as it will get hot and therefore should be used under supervision away from the reach of children and pets and should be kept well away from lose hanging curtains or any other material that may get burned or catch fire if in too close proximity.
