Ashes and shopVac

[Yahoo-Archive]

Careful with that. Back in the olden days when I was a chimney sweep
(think Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins) I used a special steel vac
because more than a couple of folks I knew sucked in some "cold" ashes
that turned out to have live coals...and started the stuff in their
vac on fire <grin>.

You can buy a steel lined hot ash Vac if you are so inclined.
