My old house had a Bilco door with concrete steps leading from the
backyard into the basement. Â*I could drive my van into the backyard and
connect a come-along or a wire rope to the hitch/receiver on the van
and get heavy stuff in and out of the basement. Â*What are you planning
to use as an anchor point?

Across from the door to the basement is a bathroom. I plan on putting a
2 by 4 across the door, The stove is not all that heavy, With the
interior baffles and doorls removed it is about a hundred pounds. Just
a bit heavy for one person.

I have pretty much made the sled. The top is made of 3/4 inch plywood
and the bottom ( parallel to the stairs ) is also 3/4 inch plywood. I
was planning on plywood on the vertical side, but it seems plenty rigid
without doing that. I had the 3/4 inch plywood on hand otherwise I
would have used thinner material.

Just don't belay off of the commode!!
