Can I use the wet/dry like this one since already have batteries.
Lol.
It'll suck ashes. I chose a Dyson because of the cyclonic nature of it; the ashes don't really go in the filter, and thus not thru the filter into the motor.
Ashes are bad for brushes (if present), bearings, and anything motor. They're quite abrasive.
So I'd use one where it's the least likely ashes get into the moving parts.

Are the ashes still hot - i.e. the occasional hot coal mixed in (even very small coals)? If so, you really should be using a specialized ash vacuum.

make sure they’re are not hot embers! Get the vacuum that uses whatever batteries your cordless tools use. Get a bag filter for it and use the original filter too.
Yeah, I'd suggest to never vacuum ashes from the stove. Just scoop them.
I only vac whatever falls off my coal rake when I put it down.
Yeah , the idea is to get flaky stuff that seats in a cormers of the door or flies out when reloading.
So any hepa filter would be good?
