Make your own Pellet Stove Vacuum Hose?

[dac122]

Has anyone made their own Pellet Stove Vacuum hose to clean the ash from all those tough spots?

If so, how did you make it?

I used one of these

And a couple of pvc couplings so I could slip fit a length of garden hose. Works great on my stove. I can snake it in behind the panels no problem.

I'll take a picture and post it when I get home tonight.

Take the edge tool from a vac (long and skinny one). Slide a length of 1/4" polyproppelyne hose into and wrap in duct tape. Works great on the pit in the back of the Mt Vernon AE stove.

I just duct tape a length of garden hose onto the end of my shop vac
hose when I need to. No parts needed except the garden hose, works great.

Got that tip courtesy of Mike Holton from ESW. ;-P

Thanks for the ideas, some of which I have already tried. I'm looking for something that won't leak as bad as the duct tape idea. Then again, maybe that's good enough.

Leak? Use a good length of GOOD tape and I don't see how its going to leak. I have done it a few times now and had no problems. Great suction on that little hose.
