off to pick up my new stove
350 pounds shipping wt. and I'm by myself...we'll see (one of them yodeling stoves, I forgot how to spell it)The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

Re: off to pick up my new stove
Yodeling stove, huh?
I'm guessing a JØTUL?
350 lb, huh? Well, be careful and don't do like ya did when you tinned your face last year. Good luck!! -

Jøtul? Which model?
Had an F500 Oslo in my last house. Heated the whole place with it. Wonderful stove."The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails."

Re: off to pick up my new stove
Had a Jotul. Most worthless piece of crap woodstove I ever saw. Theoretically it had a "catlytic converter" so it burned the gasses after burning the wood, making it efficient and eviro-friendly. Ýou had to burn the thing so hot to get it up to "afterburn"stage that it'd go through wood like grease through a goose. If you burned it so that wood lasted as long as it should, it'd die out and go cold. Kept it for 1 season, then went back to my old dented "Better-N-Ben's", which was the best stove I ever had. The Garrison I have now is pretty good though.Comment

Re: off to pick up my new stove
Mebbe you had a lemon. I had good luck and could load it in the morning let it burn hot for a bit while I had a shower and throttle it back. Load it when I got home from work, let it burn hot while I had dinner and throttle it back. Feed it just before bed a bit let it burn and throttle it back. If you did leave it wide open too long, I agree with the "grease through a goose" comment."The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails."

Re: off to pick up my new stove
it's model F3 CB...non catalytic wood stove
some office moron in traffic decided to play clutch-butt-touch-pp and I had to slam on the brakes...it roled over but I can't find any damage yet...can't check the back until the neighbors get home and help me lift it up and set it on its legs...I won't tip it up for fear of breaking the legs

Re: off to pick up my new stove
The Jotul doesn't have a catalytic converter. It's got a secondary combustion at the top of the firebox where new air is introduced to help burn remaining particulate before it goes up the flue. You've got to get a good balance of temperature and airflow to keep the secondary combustion going.

Re: off to pick up my new stove
I love my stove with the catalytic converter/burner. Mine works just like Canoez. Nice dry oak and maple. As far as moving it, I got mine into the house by myself. Think like an ancient Egyptian. Lots of rollers and levers.I was born on a wooden boat that I built myself.

Re: off to pick up my new stove
Al and I managed to get our 405 lb. stove out of the back of the pickup, up three stairs into the house, and across a stretch of wood floor non-destructively, but it wasn't easy. Be careful, Phillip, and if it starts to move in an unexpected direction, DON'T try to stop it!Comment

Re: off to pick up my new stove
I worked it to the tailgate and got it on its feet...some damage but easy to repair and covers up as well. Too damn heavy to get out of the truck by myself and my kids aren't answering their phones...did one of you guys tell them?The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

Re: off to pick up my new stove
F3 CB.
I installed one of these darlings three winters ago. A very nice and perfectly behaved stove that heats my little 1200 sq. ft. house all by itself. Good draft controls and the glass stays clean. But they are heavy little suckers. I thing Phillip mentioned that.

Re: off to pick up my new stove
I used that technique when I built the 42' steel schooner, but in reverse. The steel parts were brought in and man-handled and come-alonged and jacked into place. Once the parts were welded, though, there was no disassembly possible; that's where the 65 ton crane comes into play.
Your small (non-welded) stove should be a piece of cake.Goat Island Skiff and Simmons Sea Skiff construction photos here:
