Pellet stoves can create a lot of ash so you need a good quality vacuum to help you deal with it and clean it out. As with all ash vacuums they are only designed for cold ash, the next day when you’re getting ready to light the fire again. This model upgrades from the previous one by adding in an extra 5L of storage bringing it up to a 20L capacity. So it will need emptying more often but that’s more than big enough to finish any job you have at hand. Whether or not you need to empty it after every use will vary on how much ash you need to clean.

It’s also got a nice and long 1.5 m hose so you can get right into every nook and cranny of your stove and get rid of all the wood ash. Only if you’re looking to break it on purpose as an excuse to get a new vacuum cleaner, otherwise I wouldn’t recommend it! What I love about this ash vac, in particular, is it comes with a regular head on it so you can use it as an everyday vacuum too! It’s got good suction power and a nice big canister so you can get all your clean up done in no time. Again, to be clear, please don’t vacuum up ashes as soon as you’re finished with the fire, wherever it is. Don’t vacuum up immediately after you’ve had a barbeque, or before going to bed as a way to put your wood stove out. Well in Ash Vacuums it does matter a little but still not majorly. Unless you know you have an especially big fire pit then most standard sizes will be fine.I also liked that it’s got an indicator that tells you when the filter is clogging, once it’s 100% covered a light turns red that lets you know it’s time to empty and clean the filter.

This is a nifty little ash vacuum, it’s cheap and with that comes a price of how good it is so you might find the filter tends to slip off and you need to take some extra care, and you’ll need to wash the filter more often. If you need to clean ash from a wood-burning stove this is the vacuum for you. It’s got a large capacity at 20 litres so you won’t have to continuously empty it and it’s got an overheat prevention mechanism in the engine so even if the ash isn’t as cold as you thought it won’t heat up and break the motor.More specifically, anywhere between 18-25L is going to be more than big enough. While smaller than that will be fine for smaller fires and barbecues, you’ll just have to empty it more often. Most ash vacuums are designed for cold ashes, so you have to let the fire cool overnight and sometimes into the day before you vacuum it. Overall: The best ash vacuum cleaner you can buy in the UK, it comes at a higher price but when you factor in it doubles as a regular vacuum you’re on to a winner.

Can It Take Hot AshesPlease don’t vacuum up ash that is still on fire, or is still smouldering, no vacuum can have a fire inside it. Hot ash vacuum cleaners can be used the next day when the fire has gone out but some areas are still warm. Warm so you don’t want to touch them but not so warm they will light a fire.
