Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How to Move a Heavy Woodstove???

Hire someone like “two guys and a truck” to move it for you. Save your back and let a couple muscular young guys do the heavy lifting. I had a large gun safe moved up a flight of stairs and it cost less than a chiropractor.

I'd go boom pole.

I got my gunsafe onto my deck with tractor and boom pole, strap webbing i got from military drmo

French doors open and pipe rolled into my ‘tornado room’

wife almost lost a pinky toe moving our woodstove out of the house, oh well I told her not to wear flip flops

. sheww buddy

No poontang for me, for like 3 weeks

Lull.

This regardless! Just put in the French doors afterwards.

We use these to move equipment

Always moved ours with 2 pieces of pipe. 1/2” steel pipe cut to go through doorways. Found a piece of 1/2” copper ground rod in the new house and used it most recently. Stove will roll on it very easily so watch out for your toes.

We move ours with a two wheeler hooked on the lip on one side and human power on the other..Two guys on the other side makes it easy,one it's heavy.

I have a cast iron and soap stone stove. Heavy fugger.

Built a dolly with some scrap 2x6 and some heavy duty casters. About [bleep] out my spine trying to lift it out of the truck. Got a couple friends to help.

The lumber yard sent two young men on a tilt bed truck with this stove. If had not had a steel bar handy, I don't know how we'd of got it in?

What stove do you have?

My youngest son and I moved this one a couple times....We did have to get one of his buddies to help get it up the steps..Two people can do it if youR not in a hurry lol..

Can you bolt a 2x4 two the two legs on the narrow side.
Look at the feet. They might have a piece of flat steel and a hole.

If so, do it.

Now use a dolly.

Mooner, who are you asking?

Rolla lift I got a set can move 20k pd without effort drive to Lynchburg va you can borrow

That's exactly what I did when I sold the old house and took my stove with me. Best $60 I ever spent.

Got a manitowoc 2250 here that'll do it.

800 pound gunsafe. New home with brand new SOFT vinyl flooring. One 3x6 foot piece of old carpet. Set the gunsafe onto the end of the carpet. Two guys tugged on the front end of the carpet. Two more pushed on the back of the safe. It slid through three rooms and into the new gun room slicker than crap through a goose. Did not leave a mark on the floor.

For your wood stove, I would put an appropriately sized hunk of 1/2 inch ply or OSB between the stove and carpet remnant.
