Not long after I had convinced my wife that we should by a "hi tech" insert, I decided to use power tools (i.e., the shop-vac) to clean a cold fireplace. Bad mistake. It did not have much of a filter. Took me a long while to notice that the fireplace ashes vacuumed in by the shop-vac were then exhaled as a very, very fine dust on the way out. Only when it started getting smoky in the room did I realize the problem. Was scrambling fast with a regular vacuum on furniture, walls, rugs, etc. before my wife came home. Since then, I have used a shovel. That's a tool I can recommend.

HehHeh . . . I did something very similar . . . only it was with an older regular vacuum without any bag . . . and I did notice it pretty quickly . . . but just like you I was scrambling afterwards in an effort to clean the area before my wife came home and saw what I had done.
