Vacuum for Ashes

[Parrothead1809]

+1 for the bucket head. Cheap, easy & very compact. Only (minor) gripe is the hose could be a little longer.

I have a stinger. I’ve never replaced my filter and dust does go back out into the air but I don’t really care.
I think if I had it to do over again I’d look at the little battery vacs like ryobi just to ditch the cord.

Can I use my M18 Milwaukee Hand Held Vac for these ashes?

It should be fine. Worse that could happen is the filter will clog. I just took my filter out, I point the exhaust away from me and let it blow the fine dust out. Hasn’t hurt anything in many years now.

Like @RayClem I've been using an inexpensive 35 year old Craftsman shop-vac to clean my Pro780 for three years, no problem. From this and other messages, I think forum consensus is to not invest heavily for this issue.

Sorry pic didn’t send.

I use something very similar to that. It’s about 20 years old so I guess I’m not too worried about warranty.
