Well sometimes you do things a way you don't like but think it's the only way. Thank goodness that doesn't apply to cleaning a pellet stove. This can get dusty and uncomfortable, especially if you clean the oven while it's still hot: Fine particles rise with the heat. Soon the whole house will be covered with a thin layer of ash. Not good. Enter the ash vacuum. It's louder than a jet in your front pocket, but it does its job of cleaning the stove without releasing ANY dust. Do you know how regular vacuum cleaners blow out some dust when you turn them on? Not this thing. This is a really original design. While you can suck up warm ash, it's not designed to suck up flames, so you'll still need to let the stove cool down a bit before cleaning it. But with this thing, your stove will be cleaner, work better, and burn brighter. What are you still thinking about? Let us. I wish I had gotten this sooner!
