FAQs

Regular shop vacs are inadequate for ash vacuum use. Using a regular shop vac to remove ash from fireplaces, stoves, and other places can be dangerous for several reasons:

Ashes can contain hot embers that can reignite even after several hours. The flammable materials in a shop vac combined with swirling air are likely to cause a fire.
Fine ash particles can clog the filter of a regular shop vac, reducing its effectiveness and potentially damaging the motor. When this happens, the vacuum can overheat, also creating a fire hazard.
Ash may contain hazardous materials such as heavy metals or asbestos, which can be harmful if inhaled. A regular shop vac does not have the proper filtration to prevent these harmful particles from becoming airborne, potentially exposing the user to dangerous toxins.

The Cougar+Black is our flagship ash vac and is designed to remove ash from places like your fireplace and stove. The best ash vacuum on the market allows you to discard less safe systems of ash removal with spill-prone shovels and buckets. Get the job done safer with a dedicated vacuum for ash.

While there isn't a vacuum designed to handle hot ashes, the Cougar+Black ash vacuum is designed to safely handle cool to warm ash. This specialized vacuum is constructed with several fire-proof materials as a precaution against the risk of fire. The materials are a mix of proprietary and those manufactured specifically for the best ash vacuum on the market today.

The tapered metal extraction nozzle attachment is one safety feature of the Cougar+Black ash vacuum. This tapered nozzle is designed to prevent larger coals that can be fanned into flames from being sucked up when vacuuming ash from areas like fire pits and pellet stoves. Additionally, many components of the vacuum are rated to withstand temperatures up to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit, making it a reliable and safe choice for cleaning up warm ash.

The filter in the Cougar+Black ash vacuum is another important feature that sets it apart from other vacuums. The filter is designed to capture extra-fine ash particles down to the width of a human hair, ensuring that even the smallest ash particles are trapped and contained. The filter also has a proprietary coating that prevents ash from clinging to it, enabling longer periods of superior suction power and time before the filter needs to be cleaned.

Eventually, the Cougar+Black ash vacuum filter will need to be cleaned, but the process is simple. By wiggling an agitator rod outside the vacuum, you can easily remove stuck-on ash particles without having to open the unit. Keeping the filter clean is essential to maintain the vacuum's suction power and ensure it continues working effectively.

It’s extremely important to ensure ash has cooled before using an ash vac to extract and contain it. There isn't a vacuum designed specifically for hot ash, but the Cougar+Black ash vacuum is an excellent choice for anyone who needs to clean up cool to warm ash from a fireplace, wood stove, pellet stove, or BBQ. With several features that make it safe for use with warm ash and an effective filter system that captures even the smallest ash particles, this vacuum is a reliable and convenient tool for keeping your home clean and free of dust.

Creates Dust

Hand grinders, saws, drills, and other construction tools create large volumes of dust. This dust is harmful to your lungs, timely to clean up, and in many cases, required by law to be contained. Your tool can't solve all these issues alone.

Diverts Dust

A shroud is a device that creates a controlled path for the dust to travel. Once it’s attached to your tool and vacuum, it helps to control dust generation. Each Dustless Systems shroud is designed with a universal mount that fits most major types of tools.

Collects Dust

Our Dustless Vacs were made with construction in mind. Every Dustless Vac is an essential part of a Dustless System. Every Dustless Vac provides superior levels of filtration and comes with a three-year warranty.
