    Just make sure you kinda hold down on the the handles...they have a tendency to wanna pull forward...used them hundreds of times to move fridges years ago

    Thats Correct, I have the 28-3500 and its one great little stove. No need to run your HVAC fan. My fan kicks on at 325* and never cuts off. The constant run will make up for the lower CFM vs your HVAC fan. Youll have to raise a window lol.

    Awesome to hear! We have a provisional plan for this Friday, weather permitting, to do the deal. I am not looking forward to it. My Baker weights a ton. :(

    I don’t see one close to rent.. and we’re going to do it Friday after I get off work, so 5-6p. I have no way to pick it up in a decent timeframe if there were one available. My friend selling it works this weekend and wants it gone to take pics for his listing.

    Just expanded my search and found one within reasonable drive (may have to do this Monday instead of today). Company wants $180 for the day. Can’t do partial day.. I’m out.

    edit: and they don’t have them in store. Would need a day or two to get one in.

    Yeah, I hear ya, probably not worth it...geez, I've heard of people that only paid $200 for the local stove shop to send 2 guys out and move the old stove out, new in!

    Well:

    Asked Andrew way ahead of time for help. Turns out, he brought two friends, so we had 3 20 yr olds, me and my friend that sold me the stove.
    Whatta pita to get it out of his basement! Tight tight squeeze to get it lined up w/ his steps. We were lifting/wiggling to get the dolly under it(while on steps) and boom, broke a cpvc water line. I got drenched. :eek: Just so happens he had a plumber there so he was able to fix it right away. Great memories! :rofl: :lol:

    This stove isn’t nearly as heavy as the Baker I currently have. Just need to swap them out. No big rush.

    So is it burning yet? :whistle: ;) :rofl: :lol:

    Broken water line...funny story when told later on...maybe not so much in the moment :eek: :rofl: :lol:
    Good timing to have the plumber there though! :salute:

    Congrats on the new stove. Bet you will like it. Im thinking it will use more wood but heat your home better.

    How would it handle clinkers? :yes:

    At any rate, that's a great deal. It certainly would reduce your wood usage.

    I happen to have one of these stair climbing dollies. They are super handy for these jobs.

    That’s a good question. I’m going to keep my old one in the basement for a while and make sure i really like it. I’ve only known shaker grates and have become fond of them. My stacks, as of right now, are about 80% oak, 10% SBH and 10% mulberry. They typically don’t give me any clinkers.

    Patience is the keyword with the new stove. This sounds like it will be a significant step forward in technology etc. Listen closely to those who are used to operating this style unit. You will likely be modifying your normal burning routine to get up to speed on this one.

    Just trying to wrap my head around this plumbing. I have an 8” backdraft stopper, 2 8” elbows and 2 8”x60” pieces of straight. Also had to get a new piece of 6” black because the old stove was taller.

    Have to call my friend who sold this to me and ask if he had to buy special size fire brick too.

    Should take standard 9 x 4 x 1.25" brick...if they use a few that are special cut, then a $15 diamond blade on your angle grinder will cut 'em like buttah...
