I'm picking up a grandma bear with arched doors and bolted on legs. it seems like it has a bottom heat shield but I couldn't see how it was attached. I was hoping to put this on a dolly with four caster wheels to move it out to the trailer, to bring it home but I'm worried about damaging that bottom heat shield. Anyone know if either I can remove that bottom shield, or otherwise how to transport this thing? thanks in advance.
 
Remove doors. Put a piece of wood or shims between shield and bottom of stove. Roll dolly under, adding blocking to raise legs off floor to roll. Remove legs for ramps or planks on steps.
