Does anyone have a wood stove outside?

I have an old potbelly stove that I was thinking of relocating outside. Maybe layout some concrete sidewslkblock and create a little patio. I've looked at those little wood burning fire pits made of metal and they are quite small. Just finished looking at a propane firepit and those are nice but I've read where they don't put out much heat. They aren't as good as the little wood fire pits.

So... maybe this is where I could use an old coal and wood stove. I could even put a little metal roof over it to get the pipe up higher.

This is cool but I wouldn't do this - doesn't even look real either

I gave mine away, a little trash burner. I was going to set it up in my yard, leave the round top off, fill with dirt and plant some flowers in it. But a local wanted it.

We have a wood burning "chiminea" in our gazebo. This one. It's nice on a cool evening. It does have a regular S/S chimney through the roof for safety.

I reused the two that came with my cottage as anchors for my raft. Working great.

We do.
About 15 years ago on trash day we found this fireplace at the curb!
It sat on our deck in the city for years. We finally took it to camp last summer and had many outdoor fires. It worked out fine.
I did not take a photo of ours at camp but it looks exactly like the photo I found on Google Images.

Free trash day outdoor fireplace, what a find!
