I was able to by a drywall filter at the local ACE hardware for my 5 gallon show vac. I dont think doubling up will catch all the ash, and possibly effect the vacum sucking power. My drywall filter looks like a vacum bag.

I am trying the shopvac hepa filter. So far its very good. no dust from the vac.
Nice thing is I can use the ashes for the garden and the flower beds without having to rip open the bags.
Supposed to just have to tap the filter to clean it when dirty too!

I believe Sears has some shop vac filters.
Make sure you use a high efficiency type filter. Here is what I use for my stove...
6 gallon Craftsman shop-vac $35.00: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_...ame=Tools&cName=Wet-Dry+Vacs&sName=Tank+Style
High Efficiency collection bag **Can be used on cold ashes from fireplaces**: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_...Name=Wet-Dry+Vacs&sName=Filters+&+Accessories
This setup is dedicated only to the pellet stove. I doesn't let any of the ash to blow back into the room. You get two bags for $10.00. I burn a little less then a ton and both collection bags will last the whole season.
So far a Very Nice setup...
