Yes, lead time is always 4 weeks because each fire pit is made to order. Shipping costs depend on size ordered, not destination...$275 for 33" and $300 for 36". And for your dumb question (there are no dumb questions), you will need at least 2-3 strong guys to take it where you want to go and a furniture dolly. I suggest paying people because your friends will hate you. Hope that helps.

Hah! I figured a hand truck wouldn't be up to the job. :-) Have you used fire rocks with this? Fire glass works well? Have you any advice to give on a propane feed (stubbed in)?

We usually recommend lava rock as it is inexpensive and works well but make sure whatever you use is rated for high heat, including the lava rock (not all work). I would suggest you go to your local fire place store and order something there. Fire glass is lovely, just expensive. You can do a mix. As for the propane feed, you will need a special adapter to use with the fire ring so it doesn't whistle (and make you insane). I am not allowed to put any other links here, but you can google it and you should be able to find someone on line who sells the adapter.

Ah, thanks so much!
