When cleaning your stove, have any of you tried changing your shop vac to blow and then blowing into the air intake? I usually let it run until no more ash
and soot are coming out the chimney.

Most use a leaf blower attached to the end of the vent and suck out the soot and ash. leaf blowers move alot more air than a shop vac. But if it works for you, ;)

I've done it that way, too. I just didn't feel like wading through snow this morning. [emoji3]
