Leaf blower cleaning....

[dave1959]

What Make,Model leaf blower is everyone using to clean with... I have an old Craftsman, That I have not tried yet, but even at high speed it just does not feel like it has enough suction to do anything. It does blow leaves good so I wont get rid of it. maybe just purchae another one.

Never used it on my stove but it would pull the paint off the walls if I wanted.
I paid around $60 shipped for mine a few years ago. Here's a link to it:
Toro Ultra.

I'm using the same one Xena is using. Works great!

Most gas units don't have the appropriate intake for use as a pellet stove cleaner. Electric ones do.

I did this t mine yesterday as a matter of fact.

I use a Toro that I got on sale for $4o bucks,seems to have lots of vacuum power. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5o296-tj4Q&context=C3fc6f01ADOEgsToPDskIuvqlIoWjJEDGjvWB8O-Pi

The leafblower HAS to have the vacuum option in order to work. We all say Leafblower Trick, but in reality, we are actually sucking out the vent from outside.

I have a Troy-Bilt unit (electric) 240 MPH and 450 CFM. Does a very good job....

One of the few things in life you want to really suck.

Taking the exhaust (blower) extension off made mine suck much stronger. It narrows down to get the velocity for blowing, but reduces the overall cubic feet per minute. That's what makes the LBT so effective - lots of CFM.
