NC30 on CL

Yes. 'Good at finding stoves for others'. That's what I meant

 

First person I thought of was BBar, but the shipping would have likely killed the deal, if the guy would even do it.
I'm glad a FHC-er is getting it.

 

Still looking for that elusive "deal of a lifetime".
I'll be happy with the NC30 for a minute.

 

So, I wonder if HDR is on the road yet.
I hope the baffles are in good shape...they aren't inexpensive.
HDRock, if you're listening, consider pulling the baffles if you plan to put the stove on it's back or side for transport.

 

Bet he's on the way back with a 1/4 ton load

Glad to see good deals
I get pumped & makes me get on CL & shop for a few days.
So far the great deals have eluded me.

 

Yea. Several of us are.


Not sure the time difference to MI, I think 3 hours.
Should be pulling in his driveway about now

 

Hey, if that was all it took to get thin, I'd be more impatient.

 

Well,
You burning with it ?

 

So you can remove the base or legs from this stove but you will still have the welded on air box below the stove so it won't set upright. The base is not heavy, leave it on. Remove door and bricks if you need to lighten it up. It's not a heavy stove, just sheet metal.

I attached a photo of how I recommend lifting it with a helper. I call it the wheelbarrow method. Two full length 2x4s. I didn't even take the door off.

I have the NC30 in my pole barn and it is a great non-cat. Big, and seems quite well thought out.

For your viewing pleasure....

 

I was able to lift/lever it onto my hearth w/o help (the help was jabber jawing) after taking off the door and removing the bricks.
We made it easy by using a dolly to get it from the pallet onto the porch and over the threshold into the house.
I did a similar routine when moving my tablesaw by myself.
That was over 20 years ago. Things get heavier the older I get.
Highbeam, how hot did the keys get?
I like the 2x4 setup.

 

I used jacks to raise the stove onto stacks of wood then slid it in. It took a few hours, but wasn't too hard for being on my own.



To remove the pedestal, I put 2- 8ft long square steel tubes under the stove and raised the stove off the pedestal with 4 jacks. Kind of like the wheelbarrow method, with jacks.

 

The stove is a heck of a deal, unfortunately something came up and I won't be able to swing it.
I hate to pass it up because it would have worked fine in the shop but, stuff happens
it's not a serious thing but it is what it is.
Win some lose some
Thanks for everyone's input sorry it was a waste of time

 

It's all gooder HDR.
Sorry you couldn't make the deal. Stuff happens.

 

I always put my keys there so that I don't lose them. Depending on what I'm doing, my hands are usually up to the task of picking them up even when the stove has been rocking at 700 for a long time. Doing wet things makes my hands more sensitive to the heat but dry things I can tolerate it better.

The problem is when I throw those keys into my pocket. That skin is much more sensitive to heat.

There is also a non-removable coffee cup stain on the top front corner of the stove. Funny how we get into those rituals.

 

I

Ain't over yet.
There's next year.
PapaDave has a nose for finding these things
We got 3 pages of excitement from it .
All good stuff

 

Yep, if nothing else, it kept us busy for a couple minutes.

 

Ahh crap. I want it I just can not find the time to drive 5 hours each way to go get it right now.
