    What is the best way to move a Stove onto a trailer. It weighs about 300 pounds. Would a hand truck help?

    A hand truck and ratchet strap(s). I've moved plenty of stuff like that

    One time in a jam we used two 2x6's to shimmy a stove onto a horse trailer. I guess that would depend on what kind of legs or base you Lopi has.

    Yes this.
    And take all the pieces off you can.
    My Lopi Leyden top, doors, inside grate, and ash pan all remove without tools and lightens the load considerably.

    I just sold it and it was easy to carry with a hand truck.
