Congratulations on ordering your new Progress woodstove! We have a new one as well that we hope to have installed this month. Ours is also the metallic brown, which is much nicer in person than in the Woodstock photos. My husband and I were able to drive to the Woodstock showroom and pick out our stove. They loaded it in the back of our pickup truck and we took it home.
My husband and I moved it by ourselves with the aid of a piano moving dolly that we rented from a local rental company. The bed of his truck is basically at the same level as the threshold of our front door, so my husband was able to build a ramp from the bed of the truck directly into our front entry with minimal slope. He took the tailgate off completely and the ramp was fully supported. We unpacked the stove, added padding and strapped the piano mover on. The piano mover lifts up, only slightly, and moves on four independent wheels, so it was very easy to maneuver and very stable once we got it set up. We tried a heavy-duty pallet mover like they use at Woodstock, but couldn't find one locally that fit inside the pallet.
It took a lot of ingenuity and courage to move the stove ourselves. I'm really glad that we did it, it felt like a huge accomplishment. Although there were a few "Oh no, now what moments," especially when the pallet mover wouldn't fit. But we took our time and figured it out. (I came up with the idea for the piano mover.) We agreed that if we couldn't get it off the truck ourselves we'd call some movers to rescue us, or just bring it back to Woodstock. Glad we didn't have to do that! It's stored off to the side while the hearth is being rebuilt. So we will have to move it one more time, but have agreed to take it easy on ourselves and ask the mason to do it. I'm not sure he's agreed and we may need those piano movers one more time after all.
