Old woodstove for decoration - outside?

[Jaugust124]

Title pretty much says it all. I was wondering if anyone has done this. I thought it might make a cool conversation piece or yard art with a few flowers planted around it.

If anyone has pictures to share, that would be great.

Saw this one on the local Craigslist.

Over hundred years old and needs work but clean looking and great for display. Put in the garden with a potted plant on It. Best offer takes it.

Yup, many old stoves spend retirement as planters, smokers, garbage burners, etc.

But this one looks to be in pretty nice condition. Hopefully someone will appreciate it an put it in a place of honor for at least occasional burning.
