Hey everybody, hope everyone's summer is going well. I have a question to throw out there about something I thought of yesterday.
I know many members stove set-ups allow you to attach a leaf blower to the outlet and suck all that ash out of the stove for the final bit of cleaning, but some of us (including me) don't have that ability due to the exhaust setup.
In my case, the final parts of my exhaust are the original 8" wood stove pipe that goes straight up through the roof, with the end about 12' above that.
My question is, if I were to connect the OUTPUT end of my large shop vac to the OAK connection on the back of the stove and BLOW through it, would it achieve the same result as the regular leaf blower suction? In my mind it seems that it might work, but am I forgetting something?
I guess my main concern is possible damage to pressure switches, etc.
What say ye, all you wise pellet burners??
