Why Choose An Outdoor Fireplace?

As the spring weather approaches and we experience more hours of daylight, many of us naturally spend more time outside. Even when the sun goes down, it’s tempting to stay outside and enjoy the cozy evening. What can make this even more enjoyable? An outdoor fireplace! Have you ever considered a more permanent fixture to gather around a fire? Then you may want to read on to learn more about how a fireplace can elevate your yard and summer nights.

You may be thinking “I have a fireplace inside for the winter, why would I want one outside too?” There are several reasons homeowners choose to add a second fireplace outside. Each reason depends on interests, aesthetics, and social gatherings you may host at your home. Let’s take a look at the five most common reasons people opt to install an outdoor fireplace.

5 Reasons to Install an Outdoor Fireplace

For the one who loves to host: What could make for a better get together than an outdoor oasis? Parties, get togethers, even kid’s sleepovers — an outdoor fireplace can leave your guests talking about the great party environment in your backyard. Maybe you have a great indoor hosting area but are ready to upgrade your outdoor space. So why not add a permanent, beautiful fixture to your yard that doubles as a source of heat and s’mores maker. 

Upgrade Your Aesthetic

If you find yourself missing something outside, or that your look doesn’t carry through from inside to outside, you may be interested in all of the different style options you can choose from. With an exterior fireplace, you have more freedom to build on whatever style you enjoy — modern, traditional, etc. Consider your options and see what style matches your look outside. 

For the cooking enthusiast:

Many traditional summer treats such as s’mores or hot dogs can be made around traditional fire pits. But, if you’re into cooking, that may be just the beginning. An outdoor fireplace opens up the opportunity to add grates, cooking surfaces, and even permanent pizza stoves if that is something you enjoy. Wood-fired food is right around the corner if you install an outdoor fireplace.

For the cozy homebody:

Looking for a cozy or romantic atmosphere in your backyard? Bring date night home with a fireplace to create a warm place to enjoy the evening. If you’re into transforming the area, you can even explore movie projectors, cozy outdoor furniture, and moody lights for the area.

For everyone:

No one appreciates insects ruining an otherwise relaxing evening. Unfortunately, bugs like to linger around people, food, and otherwise peaceful environments. Luckily, a wood fire emits smoke that insects dislike. This can keep those pesky insects away for a better evening.
