Don't know about you guys, but after nearly busting a gut positioning my Austroflamm Integra into place within my existing masonry fireplace, it occurred to me that there's got to be an easier way to slide a 250-pound stove around.

So, I got my crowbar and placed one of these under each of the corners.

I'm here to tell 'ya, cleaning and maintenance just became a LOT easier.

Funny you posted this as I have some laying around in my garage and I've been thinking of sliding some under mine. Sounds like I should go ahead and do it.
 
Works good on stoves over 400 lbs

Yeah, those thing rock for moving anything on carpet. Saved my back a month ago when we re arranged the living room
 
Package says "use on carpet". What works on tile and cement board? I made a low profile caster kit for my York and it rolls right out. Once I go through the Integra and clean it and try to get it running, I may try to use the same casters. I think they're rated for 400#.
 
I have a 2000 lb capacity crane for my shop stove

I use the round felt furniture cups. They work great. I can slide my stove on the tile easily for cleanings.
