What say you folks?

The hardest part is hooking up the anti-tip-over thing. The last one
I did connected to one of the back adjustment legs. You need to slide
the stove into position, determine where that leg goes, slide the
stove back out, install the "device" (a small bracket), and slide the
stove back in.

Easiest way for me was to put a little powder on the floor -- flour,
corn starch, anything. Then it's easy to determine where the leg
goes.

The bracket grabs the back leg so the stove can't flip in you stand on
the open door or something like that.

It's pretty easy if you have linoleum or such but if you have stone or
tile it's a bit of a pain.

Good luck with it.
