Removing a log burner from sold house?

[Electric Beaver]

My G/f has just sold her house and hopefully will be moving into a new place in a few months. The old house has a log burning stove in the living room and she is desperate to take it with her!

Is this feasible? Would she have to replace it with something (open grate) or just leave a gaping hole with a flue poking down?

Thanks for the replies, pretty much echoed my thoughts.

Thanks again, she is leaving it and may get a new one at a later date in the new place.
