I moved my All Nighter Big Moe a few times. First, out of the basement of the house it was in when I bought it. It was in almost new condition. I got it for $150 but the catch was to get it out of the house. We had three guys on the stairs and one on top with a rope, just in case.

When I got it to the house, I unloaded it and moved it into the house alone. It was over 500 lbs. Maybe not with the bricks out and the door off, but it was heavy enough. I had a deck that I could back the trailer up to. I walked it off the trailer onto the deck and rolled it end over end through the doorway onto a thick blanket. I had hard floors so I could slide it into the room where it spent seven years. To get it on the hearth pad I built, I picked it up with ratchet straps using saw horses as support, and hovered it while I slipped the hearth pad under it.

When I moved, I slid and rolled it out of the house and onto a trailer to move to the new place. I did not use it at that house, so I rolled it into a shed and stored it for 4-5 years.

I got married and bought a different house, so it was time to move again. This time I skidded it up onto a tilt trailer using a rope puller. By this time, I had a Harbor Freight engine crane. When I got to the new house, I picked it up with the crane and set it on a furniture dolly.

I repainted it there and installed it. It was easy to move with the crane and dolly. In the new house, when I installed it, I put it on a metal stand, maybe 16 or 18" tall. Again, the crane was a big help.

In 2020 we upgraded to a PE Summit, and I moved the All Nighter again. First to the garage, then into the back of a guy's van. He came up from Indiana to buy it. I hope he took care of it, but he probably did not. I really liked that stove.
