N95 pellet stove cleaning mask may not be enough

[hyfire]

A regular dust mask might not be enough to give you 100% sealing, when cleaning your pellet stove burn pot, glass or stove chamber or flue.., you want to stay 100% safe invest in a respirator for cleanings and even filling the hopper.. this is what I use and it works quite well. Stay safe pellet dust can cause respiratory problems down the road..

You're probably right, but I still have a hard time putting my N95 mask on when cleaning the stove, and I leave it sitting next to my LED headlamp, and I always put on my headlamp!
