*Adding [[log]]s to campfires will '''not''' increase the amount of ash created. Therefore, multiple fires are suggested for the purpose of bulk ash generation.
*To gather ash from a [[forge]], [[oven]], [[kiln]], or [[smelter]], activate a [[shovel]], right-click the burning vessel that was recently used, and select "clean". A fire must not be actively burning here in order to effectively gather any ash. It is also worth noting that ash will not be collectable from the burning vessel unless a fire has first burned there for at least 30 uninterrupted, real-life minutes. At the 30-minute mark of a burn, enough material will have been consumed to create a collectable amount of ash. The actual act of gathering ash with a shovel from any such burning vessel utilizes the firemaking skill.
