Default Cinders/ashes from the fire-good for garden?

We have been burning wood, coal and briquettes over the winter and have a two barrels of cinders/ ash. Have a large 2 acre garden that we are trying to tame and wonder how I should use these cinders/ash. Should they go on the compost heap? Should they be put around roses? or rhubarb or any particular plant? I'm sure that they must have minerals etc that would be good for the soil but unsure of what to do. Don't want to put them in the wheely bin. I'm sure some of you green fingered jumbletowners will know. Thank you.
