Hi Guys,
I'd enjoy seeing some install pictures. I enjoy kicking around new ideas and seeing how you do things.
Thanks.

The guy I buy my firewood from is in the process of swapping a pair of 2015 model Central 6048s (both leak profusely already, with no warranty of course) for a single C800. He's a pretty handy dude so he may very well do it himself, but whether it's him or me doing the install I want to get over there and see that thing. Will get some pics if I can

This GS400 is scheduled to head to South Carolina this week to replace an old T1000 Taylor (can't wait to see that big beast) . I'll post more when we get it hooked up!

Side note- this is the original Woodmaster trailer Dad got in in 20+ years ago. It's been patched and modified a few times and still pulls nice. Old faithful.

Do you just raise it up and pull the channel out before setting it down and driving away or how's that thing work?

Exactly, I bought one somewhat like it from a retired Woodmaster dealer. He had his modified some more by the local welding shop. Believe the cable has a double throw if not a triple for more lift. Was also made taller, and has drop channels on it instead of straight. Has a battery box on the hitch for an incredibly heavy marine battery to run the whinch.

But yah, loosen the bolts in the hold down plates that slide over the stove feet, slide plates off stove feet. Raise stove, remove channel irons and loosen the turnbuckle that connects the left and right wheel, remove that, then set stove in place.

Far as pulling nice, when loaded it does, not so much once no stove is on it depending on the quality or lack of of the local roads.

Good to know though, haven’t had to pick a G400 with it yet.

We don't bolt the channels down, just strap it down tight..
Also added pins to attach the channels right behind the wheels for the ride home. Gets weight down low and it doesn't bounce too bad. Believe me we've got the rough narrow roads.  :D
A G4 is all it wants for weight.

Ran it down today, fired up and started gassing clear at 82 degrees water temp. Nice dry wood, I think he'll do great. The old Taylor T1000 smoked the yard up and burned a lot of wood. This will be a nice upgrade I think.

Dad said around 5300 sq ft, poorly insulated (if any), high ceilings, 1800's construction, the T1000 Taylor (800 gallon) would hardly last overnight. Beautiful house, but tough to heat.
It aughta give the GS400 a workout... :) I wish it was closer to winter.

I usually forget to take pictures but did remember to take a couple yesterday. This is a G200 that replaced a leaking Aquatherm.

So out of curiosity, why the FPHX at the back of the stove? I’m guessing the aquatherm was pressurized and that goes to the house?
