What does DEASH mean in Scrabble?
verb
technical
To remove the ash from something, especially from a stove, furnace, or fireplace.
To deash a stove or boiler means clearing out the built-up ash left after burning wood, coal, or other solid fuel, usually so that air can flow freely and the fire burns efficiently again. Regular deashing is part of routine maintenance for solid-fuel heating systems, since a thick layer of ash left in the grate can reduce airflow and cause smoke to build up. The word is built directly from de- meaning removal and ash, the residue left after burning.
How DEASH is used
Chiefly used in instructions and manuals for solid-fuel stoves, boilers, and fireplaces.
- The manual advises owners to deash the stove once a week.
- He knelt down to deash the fireplace before lighting a new fire.
- The boiler needed to be deashed before it would draw properly.
- She deashed the grate and swept the hearth clean.
- Failing to deash the stove regularly can choke the airflow.
