The easiest way to remove ash from your cooker is to use an ash tool to scrape out the ash into a metal pan or bucket. Make sure you use a metal receptacle since you often can’t be sure that there isn’t a glowing ember in the ash. You can see a photo of the ash tool sold by Big Green Egg to the right. This works well on the large and medium Eggs. It can be a little tricky to maneuver through the smaller vent of the small egg, but it can be done. One other thing to note is that if you have any burned charcoal in the cooker already, you might as well give it a stir with the ash tool to knock off any loose ash and small pieces of charcoal. Then scrape it all out through the bottom vent with the ash tool.
