An outdoor fireplace is a place for building fires outside of the home. Similar in construction to an indoor fireplace, an outdoor fireplace is usually added to a stone, brick, or concrete patio. It often consists of a firebox and a chimney. Most outdoor fireplaces burn wood, but some cities restrict or ban the burning of wood outdoors. Gas is another alternative. As with indoor fireplaces, an outdoor fireplace requires cleaning and maintenance to keep it looking and working at its best. While an outdoor fireplace may not need to be cleaned as often, it will need to be cleaned regularly in order to keep it reasonably tidy and maintained and to remove ash build.
While indoor fireplaces are traditionally designed for heating, an outdoor fireplace is usually used for providing ambiance and warmth . On cool evenings they are a wonderful gathering place away from the TV where families can reconnect an talk without the distractions that we find within the house. Many are designed to double as wood-fired ovens that allow homeowners to create meals such as pizzas and bread. These designs further create a draw for family an friends to gather and enjoy each other.
For added romance we like to put fireplaces next to pools and hot tubs where the users can enjoy a relaxing soak in the tub while enjoying a crackling fire and connecting with the one they love.
