    I’ve been sweeping every 2-3. Still get less than a 15oz soup can.

    As a 20 year career firefighter, I wanted to pass on that it is good routine to turn your Class A fire extinguisher upside down and shake it, as the power inside can become caked on the bottom.

    Thanks, just moved homes and your comment prompted me to get ours out of the moving boxes in the garage.

    Pulled the cat shield and vacuumed the cat from the bottom side, looks pretty good. Going to give it a try and see how it engages first. It is a chore to pull the cat but I have a new gasket if it needs pulled. Probably be a little bit before I light up. Still want get up and maybe run a brush down the liner even though never get much more than small handful of dry flake.
