Abstract
This ash receiving device is designed to prevent ash dust from entering a room when ashes from a fireplace or wood stove are dumped into the device. Primarily, the device consists of a container with a removable ash receiving receptacle on its interior. It also includes a foot pedal operated vacuum producing mechanism in its base, which by an attached hose, will cause outside air to be drawn through openings through an internal chute in which the ashes are dumped to fall in the receptacle. This incoming air being drawn in by suction, pulls the ash dust produced when dumping, into a removable filter included in the chute.
