Anyone have any suggs?

I only vacuum my stove out once every 10-14 days. If i let it coll completely, I can drag in the shop vac with a 2inch hose and clean it quick.

I hate the small dia. hose on the ash vac.
 
check with shopvac for an increaser from 1 1/4 to 2 1/2. also note there will still be a restriction where the hose connects to the vac so it might not pick up any faster than the smaller hose.
 
yea, I want to start with a larger inlet
 
Any idea's where i can buy the steel hose, or a larger fitting?

If all else fails, try McMaster Carr - the ultimate online hardware store....
