Choose a Portable or Built-in Outdoor Fireplace for the Patio

Add warmth and light to the backyard garden with custom built, modular or portable outdoor fireplaces in various sizes and warm up cool evenings. Build a classic natural stone fireplace with features that include an adjustable grill and firebox that can stand intense heat.

More affordable buys include enclosed heavy duty steel box designs that are coated with a rust free porcelain finish and elevated on platforms for easy viewing. Some models come with vent hoods, wrought iron stands and fine mesh screens.

Choose an open copper outdoor fire pit with a fire bowl and screened top - a safe alternative to a bonfire. Take it to the beach or use outside on a concrete or brick pad for campfire cooking.

Other outdoor fireplace designs include cast iron or aluminum chimeneas, a potbellied stove with a spark guard, chimney and grate for artificial or real wood logs. Some manufacturers combine fire places and charcoal grills for double duty.

For the ultimate in convenience, gas fireplaces with ceramic logs and coal are available with electronic ignition and remote flame control.
