General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / how to unload stove???.......
« on: September 19, 2012, 07:41:37 AM »
Ok...so I am buying a stove and it will be loaded in the back of my pickup truck...
Here is the question....How can (I) unload the stove?
I know I can call a wrecker--look to friends with equipment---but these have simply have not worked out in the past, and I prefer to rely and do stuff myself.

Does anyone have a idea how to unload the stove?.....It weights 1900lbs empty. Also the stove manufacture said to unload it simply lower a chain into the chimney and use a piece of steel to wrap the chain around(stove does'nt have a eye hook) and lift it up. I dont like the idea of dragging the stove off a trailer either, so how about some idea's....
I thought maybe I can rent a trailer which is lower--but I still dont like the idea of dragging the stove because I dont want to stress or break welds on the legs. I know if It was like the Timberwolf stoves that have skids on the legs it would make it really easy and I would'nt have a problem with sliding it off a trailer....Maybe I can weld skids on myself, I do have a welder so it would'nt be a problem there.
I wish the model I purchased had skids like these models have--It would make unloading plus the need for making mounting slabs unneccessary....

I just wanted to see if anyone had better idea's out there.
