Modifying a leaf vac to vac the pellet stove??

[mystove]

This is what I have, hate to have to go buy another one just to do the pellet stove. Here are pics. Not sure exactly what to use to be able to vac out the pellet stove. Opening is about 4 3/4 inches across.

If you are planning on using it attached to your outside vent pipe to suck it out, you need to get a rubber Fernco fitting that will fit over your vac on one end and the other end to fit over your vent pipe. http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay...gId=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1 Or http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay...gId=10051&cmRelshp=req&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1

Thanks! It may have to fit inside on the vac end. I'll see what I can figure out this Saturday.
Pellet stove is still not burning very well and although I have cleaned it maybe this will help if I missed anything. Cold weather back on the way so I want to get everything done because I was freezing last week. New combustion fan tomorrow so that will be done also. Hoping for some heat!

I don't use any adapter. I just hold the blower intake right on the end of the exhaust pipe and run it till clear. My blower fan has a screen over it though so you don't suck in leaves. The fan is not exposed like on your blower.

Take the blower to your local home improvement and get things fitted up. I think I used a sewer reduction fitting and a Fernco rubber reducer to fit the venting.

Thanks so much for the photo. Helps to see the set up.

Yes the fan might pose an issue if I try that but there might be a simple solution, I will have to figure it out. Thanks for the input.

Ok got it all done last night but I have to say I was a bit disappointed. It blew ash but it wasn't the fun I was hoping for lol. I had just vacuumed the exhaust out not too long ago though. Next time I get to do it without the recent clean
