I got a Dewalt really cheap, there are many different types you can get.
Here is mine, other may give you better options.

Doesn't have to be a WET/dry... but it should have a BAG filter which is better for ASH.

The BUCKET HEAD from HomeDepot has been posted here a hundred times... and for the bucket get the CLEAR smaller one from the paint dept

Ash Vacuum

I have been thinking about purchasing an ash vacuum for cleaning out my Traeger and my wood stove. Has anyone else purchased one? I’m looking for recommendations. Thanks a lot.

I’ve done fine with a 30 year old Sears Craftsman wet/dry shop-vac. It has the bag filter Slim mentioned. Not sure you need anything special.

I also have been using the Stinger for 2+ years. cost is about $35. It stores in my grill cabinet.

No I do not. That sounds like a fine machine you have.

HD Bucket Head and HD bucket. Under $30. Nice bang for the buck and you can order the bags on eBay cheap.

Me also, it has a red 5 gal bucket that the head locks on to ( not a standard bucket, 2.5 inch hose. Has to live in the garage… to big to fit in the smoker ahead….
