My wood stove is around 650lb. I took half of it apart (was used and needed rebuilt anyway) for 2 of us to get it DOWN several steps through my Bilco door. So, yeh...1000lbs UP a full flight: :eek:
Yeah, down side of high end security is increased weight. I could pull the fireboard out but that's not going to make much difference and will just mess up the interior.
Stair climber and a ramped trailer is what I'm thinking. Probably use a come along as a belay line.
