How to Maintain Your i-800 Incinerator for Maximum Efficiency

If you're using an i-800 Incinerator, keeping it well-maintained is the key to getting the most out of each burn. One of the simplest—but most important—maintenance tasks is removing ash build-up beneath the grate.

Why It Matters

Over time, ash can accumulate under the grate and block the air intake opening at the front of the unit. When this happens, the airflow is restricted, reducing the amount of oxygen available for combustion. Less oxygen means slower, cooler burns—and that means you’re not getting the efficiency your incinerator is built for.

The Quick Fix

The good news? It’s an easy fix. Just use a spade to clear out the ash regularly. This small task can have a big impact.

The Benefits

By clearing out that ash:

  1. Airflow improves - bringing in more oxygen
  2. Combustion speeds up - generating hotter burns
  3. Material breaks down faster - reducing overall burn time
  4. Efficiency increases -  letting you burn more waste in less time

Final Thoughts

Maintaining the ash space under the grate isn’t just about cleanliness—it’s about performance. A clean incinerator is a more powerful, more efficient one. Make ash removal part of your regular routine, and your i-800 will reward you with faster, cleaner, and more effective burns.
