    I built this attachment for my ash vac the other day. Best $3.00 I can remember spending. I've seen nicer ash vacs with this attachment but couldn't find it anywhere to buy. A trip to the local TruValue, a rubber plug, and 20 inches of half inch flex tubing and I have a great attachment that gets into the tight areas you can't get to to clean. My HarmanXXV has some hard areas to get to. image.jpg image.jpg

    Atta boy Donn....That is perfect. I sell those things- they come in a little kit for the Cheetah Ash Vac. Yours looks almost identical to the ones we sell. The long suction tube is so important for the way bach crevices and ignitor chambers.

    My Thelin stove came with one from the factory, it sure makes it easier to do my cleaning.

    Very nice.. Nailed Nailer has turned some out of wood and they are beautiful.

    That suction hose and a blow line with a 1/4" line off the end are 2 awesome tools to have, along with the Leaf Blower ;)
  7. Hey thanks for sharing I might just try that !

    I bought a Craftsman car cleaning kit for my shop vac a while back, the hose for that
    is much smaller and fits into the P35i exhaust passage great. It also fits into the ignitor
    area real easy.

    And while looking up the official terminology in the manual I'm realizing apparently I've
    been doing almost all the monthly cleanings every week.. But it's still fun for me and
    the wife doesn't know it's not necessary =P
