I am happy to factor in a visit down to clean that stove up Mike. I guess the main thing is the door works well and seals okay.im going to try to load up the 18P i have at home and get it to my shop small window in the door but its a window. if noting else i'll try to get it usable will be some work though as its got about 12 years of weather on it. labor is on me. if i can get it "back in form" we just gotta figure out how to get it up there, will advise, i still gotta beat on the boss about the 30, but if your device is designed to bring a smoke dragon from back in the day up to current emission standards i think an old stove would be a better "test" (just thinking)
Moving around a 500 lb stove would be a bit of a challenge. I did a solo effort to put my test stove in my hatchback once but it required someone else to help me lift it out again, but that one is only 100Kg (220 lb). I do like to see things built solidly to last
