When considering an
outdoor fireplace there is the design to consider. There are
many different types of outdoor fireplace Designs to choose from. Depending on
the amount of money to be spent there is quite a variety to choose from. The
choices range from concrete, stone, steel, copper, wooden, and etc. . Then there
is the question of whether you want one that can be easily moved or if you want
a fixed or permanent fixture such as a stone fireplace that is built into your
backyard or patio area. Another important question is whether you would like
electric, gas, wood, propane, or gel fuel canisters.
If convenience is what you
are looking for many outdoor fireplaces such as Chimeneas or Patina fireplaces
assemble quite easily and can be transported anywhere you choose. As with the
Chimeanea most of the portable metal or cast iron fireplaces can use wood or
artifical logs. Some outdoor fireplaces though use propane canisters or tanks or
gel fuels. All of these outdoor fireplaces do have high BTUs and retain heat
fairly well and long. Many of these types of outdoor fireplaces come in an array
of sizes. Some of these even can be mounted to a wall or left free standing you can find many
Coleman outdoor fireplaces that are great.
Many of these models have decorative accents and even real granite, limestone,
or marble table tops. More permanent choices are those that are constructed from
stone and have chimneys. These again can either be electric, gas, or fuel
powered.
They can be simple designs or very elaborate, the choice is yours! Some
choices to consider are the Coleman Firelight Ambiance Indoor/Outdoor Fireplace,
Chimeana, Hampton Outdoor Fireplace, and many designs available for more
permanent outdoor fireplaces. Many outdoor fireplaces have cooking grids that
allow for grilling or space for roasting marshmallows or hotdogs. They not only
serve the purposes of heating, cooking, but are great for social settings on
mildly cool nights. Most metal fireplaces are such as steel , copper, or

are chic in design but also are easy to use. Outdoor fireplaces that are custom
built and are permanent fixtures to your outdoor patios or backyards are fairly
