We are grateful for the gifts of life conferred by this stove.
May the spirit of such selfless giving pervade the universe and benefit everyone.
May each of its parts find some beneficial use in the world.
As everything that comes into existence also comes to an end, so the stove's life and our life are one.
May all beings benefit by its new form.

They took the stove away this morning. Said it will go for scrap.
What I-beam or engine part or bracket or zipper or container will it become?
