The ash hopper was essential to every family in the days when soap was homemade. The hopper provided storage for wood ashes used in making lye soap. Come spring, soap-making time, water was poured over the ashes and after several hours of soaking, lye began to drop from he bottom of the hopper. Animal fats were mixes with the lye, boiled and allowed to cool until solid. After mixture cooled, it was cut into blocks and placed in the smokehouse to cure.
