+1 (978) 295-7538Cougar+ A0500 Ash Vacuum for Fireplaces, Wood Stoves and Pellet Stoves
Ash is the particle size that defeats a household vacuum — fine enough to pass straight through a paper filter and back into the room. The Cougar+ uses a two-stage system with a PTFE-coated second filter and a metal flex hose, and it is rated for cool to warm ash rather than hot material.
Cougar+ Filtration and Ash Handling
Two stages, because one filter doing both jobs clogs immediately.
- Two-stage filtration — the first stage takes the coarse material, the PTFE-coated second stage catches the fines that would otherwise blow back into the room
- 90 CFM with 55" water lift — enough suction to clear a firebox without stirring the ash bed into the air
- 5 ft metal flex hose and 13" metal nozzle — metal at the intake, where warm ash contacts the tool
- External filter cleaning — knock the ash off the filter without opening the drum
- Sealed 6-gallon drum — leak-resistant construction so ash does not escape at the seams
- 8-piece tool kit included — reaches into corners of fireboxes, stoves and grills
Cougar+ Applications and Environments
Chimney sweeps and hearth retailers run these daily; homeowners with wood or pellet stoves buy one. It suits fireplaces, wood and coal stoves, pellet stoves, fire pits and BBQ grills. Use it on cool to warm ash only — Dustless does not rate the Cougar+ for hot coals or live embers, and ash should be allowed to cool before vacuuming. It carries a 3-year limited warranty.
