I'm the worst at carrying in wood. Earlier this season I dropped a split from a huge arm load and broke the arm off of a chair we really liked. Last night I dropped a split from a similar sized arm load and it broke the side door handle of our F600 in half. Tried to order a new one today, but I have to get the whole assembly and it has to be shipped from Europe. At least I haven't burned myself this year....yet, and I still love heating with wood.
Broke off the door handle!

Unfortunately I don't need the knob, I need the metal handle. Maybe I'll call to see what he can offer though. Thanks for the tip.

Wife bought me this after I dented our floor with an errant split.

Those canvas carriers are nice. Also keeps you from getting your clothes dirty if you need to reload while still being presentable. [emoji12]

My in-laws got me a wood carrying tote from LL Bean for Christmas. At first I thought, ok typical mother -in-law gift saying subliminally "this is what i think of you". You know. But I'll tell ya what, they are really nice after using one for a while. It also keeps most of the dirt and bark smalls off the floor. I guess just this once i really was the a-hole thinking what I thought! Ha ha

This is true.
They also contain any pieces of bark or wood chips that fall off rather than ending up all over your carpet/floor.

I started out with a cheap Lowes canvas tote ... bought a LL Bean tote ... excellent quality and worth the price.

My parents use a canvas tote they love it. My mother is a clean freak so it keeps her happy, the house clean, and the fire burning

I would do a little inter web scouring. May find the handle and get it quicker.
Just an idea? I may need to get a canvas split tote - 100% rave reviews so far

That's what we all get for buying high end, European designed stoves like Jotul. I'm saying this from experiences like yours too. I was thinking on getting a larger Jotul than what I have now but I'm starting to think something from an American company that actually has reasonably priced, available parts and customer service. Loved my stove last year but as I spend more time with it, I get less and less thrilled.
