The problem is it's already in our coal bin.

Our old coal stove was deemed unsafe to burn so we won't be using our coal, and would love to get it to someone who can. Our access is a little tricky though, as the coal bin only has the little door outside, otherwise you have to go around the deck and come inside to a trap door in our pantry to get to it.

Does anyone have any kind of machinery that could pull it out the way it came in?

Or should I start bringing up by the bucketful and bagging it?

Any help or advice would be appreciated. In the Moscow 18444 area. We would kind of like $100 for it because we paid $400 this summer but honestly if someone could just help get it out and take it away that would be great.

Bummer about your stove. Why not replace it?

Here's the little coal bin door outside on the side of the house, where someone could pull a truck in:

Otherwise you go around the corner to cross this deck to the back door:

And then down through this trapdoor, the coal bin is directly to the left of the stairs:

As for the coal stove, when the house was built it was our main source of heat. Later on we got baseboard radiators and a gas furnace, so we've ended up using the stove less and less ever since. We always loved the "warm spot" it created in the center of the house (the cats loved it, too) but we can't see replacing it since it would require a good bit of masonry work and reconstruction of the area for something that's already a bit redundant. We just found out it was never installed correctly in the first place, and now has some breeches in the firebox from burning too hot because there was no real draft control on the chimney. If anyone would be interested in trying to fix up or something though, it's a beautiful German Weso from the early 80's. The porcelain is all in great condition.

Going up tomorrow for the first runs to get the coal. Bucket brigade from the basement to the truck, bucket from the truck to a tarp behind the house.

Think I need to cover it to keep it from getting wet??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

well of course, they store roofing shingles in plastic wrapped bundles for a reason you know ;) :lol:

PS, keep us up on the stove, it's a beauty and hopefully won't take much to set right.

Made two round trips yesterday. Brought back about 1760 pounds of coal and put it on a tarp behind the house. I will be building a bin in the basement so I can put the next two round trips in it. 44 buckets filled, carried up the steps from their basement, into the truck and then put on the tarp at the house.

Thanks to our new good friends!!!!

Sounds like this is working out good for everyone involved.

5 gallon pails...My back is sore just thinking about it. Don't over do it!

I felt it when I got up this morning. The coal isn't what has me concerned. It's the stove that comes later. Manual says it weighs 440 pounds. We might be able to get it down to around 200 or so by taking the ceramic wings and top off it. The current owner took the wings off already. When my friend and I get ready to move the stove, I'll get the top off, the doors and anything else to get it down to bare stove. I bought a winch from Harbor Freight for loading radiators and if it works for this one project it will be money well spent. I plan on making a ramp from two 2x4's bolted together with a layer of 5/8" plywood on top. I plan on strapping the stove on an appliance big lip dolly and let the winch do the work. Getting it out of the truck will be reverse of getting it on. :shock:

Thats' the plan anyway and I'm sticking to it!!! :lol:

If you need a hand getting the stove out, pm me. I'm only about 10 to 15 min from Moscow, and would be happy to give you guys a hand. I have that set of aluminum folding ramps at the house .

We're super grateful here to have such friendly coal-and-stove removal! So glad it's all going to a good home, too.
