Vacuum for Ash
I checked the archives but can you guys give me some opinions after using .My problem trying a old Gibraltar hand fired stove .Not all of the ash goes in ash pan .I am burning Lehigh pea an nut coal .These 2 coals burn down to talcum powder .I have waited til next day so ash is cooler and im shoveling out the fine powder .Wife is pissed as some hits hearth etc. Can you recommend a small vac .To all members I wish you a nice Thanksgiving .jack

I use a 5 gallon "shopvac" from Harbor Freight. was $40.00 on sale. I use the 5 gallon brown dust bags, no issues with dust and vacuums ash up easily.
