How Difficult is it for two guys to carry the FEC100?

Carry it! Oh, my back! Not me.

Maybe four guys and if you turned it on its back to carry it.

Get the moving straps. It will be easy enough with them.

It's pretty heavy, would depend on how much each of the guys can bench press.

Website lists it at 416lbs.

Have you seen anyone effectivley use a hand truck or appliance truck to move it? I'm not sure if it's the strap or the nose/lip on the hand truck that does the lifting, but the fact that the FEC100 is about 20 inches off the ground (versus a washing machine or refrig)has me concerned that this method would work.

Thanks again.

I took the racks out and door off (and anything else I could) and two of us were able to get it that far up a slight hill.

It's narrow enough, while it was "new" so I wouldn't get smoke/grease etc inside the house I just pushed it from the front door to the back door and went from there. It fit just fine.

The hand truck won't work unless it has a way to deal with the width of the wheels. It is top heavy.

Two guys, front and back (one on door side, on on the back) and it will work.

Can't do it from the sides because you don't want to put the stress on the pellet hopper, it can NOT support the full weight.

If you're really stressing about it, you can take the whole pellet hopper out (and reduce the weight somewhat).

Sounds like moving straps! Thanks guys.

I used moving straps with 2 guys with no problem i am not sure what my friend brought over but they made it lifiting the unit easy without bending over. Good Luck

Put it on a piece of plywood and pull it like a sled.

Now there's a thinking man! The snow has been melting quick and I'm thinking instead of pulling it, I'll get two pieces of plywood and roll it from one to the next!

Good Idea FF!!
