If so, how did you make it?

I used one of these
(broken link removed to http://www.shopvac.com/detail.asp?id=192)
And a couple of pvc couplings so I could slip fit a length of garden hose. Works great on my stove. I can snake it in behind the panels no problem.
I'll take a picture and post it when I get home tonight.

Take the edge tool from a vac (long and skinny one). Slide a length of 1/4" polyproppelyne hose into and wrap in duct tape. Works great on the pit in the back of the Mt Vernon AE stove.
I just duct tape a length of garden hose onto the end of my shop vac
hose when I need to. No parts needed except the garden hose, works great.

Thanks for the ideas, some of which I have already tried. I'm looking for something that won't leak as bad as the duct tape idea. Then again, maybe that's good enough.
Leak? Use a good length of GOOD tape and I don't see how its going to leak. I have done it a few times now and had no problems. Great suction on that little hose.
