At our nearest Menards, sale items use orange tags and regular priced items use green tags. I tried to search their website for that particular item but was not able to find it. You wouldn't have a brand name or SKU for it by chance?jedidiah578 said:Yeah think it was on sale for 59.

Describe warm? Even Ash vacs have known to smolder there filters. Most embers I touch have been "Hot". In the manual it still states to let the stove or ashes cool.
Maybe I'm just cheap. But I saved $200 and still have to wait for my stove to cool. An Ash vac looks better if you set it near the stove, but I have a utility closet I keep mine in. Along with some pellets and a toolbox.
i have the loveless ash vac also it's worth every penny i spent on it .even though you are not to vac up ash thats hot its worth it . the only people that i ever heard say its not worth the money are the one that dont have one. i have the louder version and its not to loud at all.woodmiser said:I got the $200 Loveless. Worth every penny. It's very well made and has a shaker rod that allows you to shake the filter clean without opening the vac up. The best part is I get no ash puffs from the vacuum and no more built up ash on everything in the room. The filter is a two stage unit with an inner and outer fiberglass specially treated material. You almost never have to replace the filter so long as you don't get hot ashes directly on it. The inlet of the hose is much lower in the can than the filter hangs so it's not a direct hit if you accidentally suck up hot ashes.

When I did that I kept seeing clouds of ash rising out of the bucket no matter how careful I was. No more with the ash vac.
