Hauling a stove?

[paredown]

I have another complete newbie question.

Has anyone hauled their stove in a pickup truck?

Can a cast stove be tipped over on it's back?--I have a cap on my truck & don't think I will be able to get it in the truck standing upright.

If this works, I'll have my stove on Monday!!

I don't see any issue laying it down on its back or side. Just make sure there's not a fire in it first. ;-) And cushioning is always good. Obey the speed limit.

I got my VC in the back of the Suburban without a problem. I used an appliance dolly, pulled it up, slid it in and left it strapped to the dolly.

Yes.

Be sure to remove the firebricks first (if it has any - some cast iron stoves don't) as this will lighten the lifting and save your brick from needless breaking.

Be sure to remove the firebricks first (if it has any - some cast iron stoves don't) as this will lighten the lifting and save your brick from needless breaking.

Also remove any easily removable parts, like andirons, ash pans, floor grates, doors. Be sure to put the stove body up against the front of the pickup bed. A panic stop with the stove still moving forward in the bed would be no fun at all.
