Another Update!
Since it is going to be so heavy, we were having a tough time figuring out the best way I could move it by myself, while taking in the consideration the heat around the firebox when in use. I wasn't really sure what to do, thought about just putting legs on it and then using a furniture mover or some sort of dolly. The guy I hired to build it came up with a better plan, steel feet with removable wheels! (So, Pappy, to change my answer, yes it will!) I like this design. It's functional and looks cool too. Smoke stacks and firebox door handle/latch have now been welded on as well. All the doors are gonna need some heat to flatten them back out a bit, but other than that, everything is going smooth.

It is not insulated. I thought about putting some firebrick in the bottom, but I'm going to wait and see if it is necessary.
The firebox wheels come off when it is in use and it has steel feet it will sit down on.

FYI, I did line my firebox with firebricks I got from Northern Tool. They are regular 4-1/2"x9" but only 1-1/4 thick used for wood stoves. Box of 6 is about $13. They are easy to cut to size & shape with a diamond wheel on my small Makita grinder - they work great.

How do you steer that thing! I'm interested in how stable the temps will be with those huge doors!
Looks good so far. Quite a leap from the COS, huh.
Any idea how to lift it to remove tires?
