Ashes work well in a garden.
I found a metal trash can that looks like a smaller version of the old style galvanized trash cans (I think it's a 6 gallon one). I had a couple of these I used for birdseed because you can flip up the handle to lock the top in place to keep squirrels out (squirrels will eat right through a plastic bucket and lid). Been using one for about 10 years with the smoker. I let the ashes go out and a day (or more) later I dump them into the can and seal the top (locking it in place with the handle). When the can is pretty full, it fits nicely inside a kitchen trash bag so I can dump the long cold ashes into a bag for disposal. By then they have been cold for days or even weeks so I know they are 1000% out.Not a photo of my can, but it looks like this.....
And.... if you can wait for the ashes to grow cold ( overnight is good timeframe to check them and confirm they are COLD )THIS >>>>http://www.homedepot.com/p/Bucket-Head-5-gal-1-75-Peak-HP-Wet-Dry-Vac-BH0100/202017218Because it fits a standard 5 or 6 gallon bucket - you now have a way to transport and dispose of the ashes. Buy the 5 gal. bucket and a lid. HINT: Place a brick or 2 in the bottom of the vacuum bucket. It will provide enough ballast so that you do not turn he vacuum over overtime you "snug up" the hose when dragging it a little during use.
