Jo Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Have seen a nice woodburner in Brico Depot which I am thinking of buying as a supplementary source of heat when I either don't need the full central heating on, or when it's very cold, as a little extra. Does anyone have an idea of how much it costs to have one fitted? Also as a matter of interest, if they put it on the trailer for me, how on earth are you supposed to move the thing after? Had a quick heave-ho in the shop and it weighs a ton!!!!![8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anton Redman II Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The Vosges weighs 58 kilos, the marvellously named Balham is 121 Kilos. They do not give weights for their other stovesStrap to a big sack barrow, sangles at bottom so two big idiots can more it. Put 2.5 tonne trolley jeck underneath and move onto a platform with castors Depends what other work needs doing in terms of work on chimney liner etc. I would not buy it till I had sorted out somebody to install it.

friend of stouby Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 What's the weight Jo? as that will dictate which methods you can use to move it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachapapa Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I use and lend a thing called a "diable chariot" which can be used either in a vertical mode or in horizontal mode on the four wheels. Normally, unless light & short move, I remove the glass/vitre. They are not particularly expensive in the sheds. Mine looks like the "blue one".http://www.google.fr/images?hl=fr&q=diable+chariot&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=TfA_Td92x63yA7nKxbkE&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=8&ved=0CGoQsAQwBw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yes, we've found our sack truck invaluable too.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachapapa Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 If you do buy one make sure you get one with a long lift surface in the vertical mode; this allows you to get under the middle of the stove between the feet and lift it without any blocking or jacking. Make sure the two inflateable tyres are good and hard for a stable lift. The one I have looks exactly like this;[IMG]http://www.esedirect.co.uk/images/Product/large/1902.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Not that I don't move quickly...[blink] have finally got the woodburner! Very nice man from Brico brought it right into the lounge[:)] have got someone arranged to fit it but have said I would buy the fittings as I have plenty of credit on my Bricomarche card. He told me I need fittings with 153mm diameter, not alu, unless I want to replace them all next year[:-))] the trouble is I can only see fittings marked in120mm 150mm 160mm although there is a "collar" which is one size at one end and a different size on the other, but it only says on it 150mm despite the fact only one end is going to be that. I don't want to wait to ask the bloke when he comes to fit it as I have no idea when he would be able to come back to me[8-)] HELP[8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
