Cleaning Your Stove

[schenkp]

I’m curious what kind of vacuum your use to clean your stove? I have not made the purchase yet and wanted to get some input on what to buy.

Shopvac with sheetrock filter (fine dust)

So you then wait until your stove is complete cooled off before cleaning it? I have seen ash vacuums but then seem kind of pricey....

Exactly. That is the one trade-off. Spend $200+ and suck out the hot ashes or wait until they are cooled to use the shop vac. I wait ~ 30 minutes and have never had a problem. The fly ash is nearly burnt anyway. It is the stuff in the burn pot that you have to watch out for.

Got ya thanks for your reply I already have a Ridgeway wet vac with a sheetrock filter also.... might just use it as well. I think i just have to get a brisol extension peice and im good to go.
