I figure 13 years is long enough to procrastinate getting an ash vac

[wahoowad]

I've been using my smaller shopvac with some special filter as my ash vacuum for years, but always thinking I should get a decent dedicated ash vac. I don't vacuum as often as I would like as I keep my bulky shop vac out in the garage and just don't go get it often enough. I think one of these ash vacs would fit in my un-used inside wood storage box and make it more convenient to clean up ash around the woodstove.

Just searched Amazon...didn't recognize many of the brands as one's I've seen here over the years. I do see a Powersmith. Any other suggestions for a make/model?

Thanks

Nothing to add, other than I want see what people recommend. I want to get one, too.

I have Cougar, but expensive. It can do Warm Ash. Got mine used and fixed it for about 120 bucks total. If I had to do it again....

But it won't do warm ashes. If your careful it will work.

One I got....

I forget the brand that I bought from the wood stove store but it is loud when running. Very loud. In fact it's obnoxious.
