Having an outdoor fireplace is fun.
You can hold a party, enjoy music with friends, relax and be cozy with a fireplace to keep you warm even on windy or cold nights.
You can have different types of outdoor fireplaces, they can be big, they can be small, and they can be portable ones or prefabricated.
They can even be the old fashioned cast iron ones.
Cast iron outdoor fireplaces can be used for high fires, for roasting or for enjoying.
They can withstand high temperatures so you can have a really warm fireplace.
Cast iron outdoor fireplaces may be expensive but they are worth buying.
They can be a one time investment so you don't have to change the models often.
Some have features like a trash basket where all the ash is collected so you do not have to clean up much.
Some can be bought along with suitable cooking utensils which match the fireplace and are perfect for them so you don't have to buy new ones.
They are permanent fixtures for your outdoor living.
Once set, they cannot be moved around so you have to be firm in your decision where to have it.
You can have chimineas with them.
These chimineas are also made of cast iron (you can have other material also but cast iron is best).
When you are building an outdoor fireplace remember to get the necessary permission from the relevant authorities.
Build it away from any combustible substance and see that there are no branches of overhanging tree branches near the fireplace.
There is normally a firebox, a smoke chamber, flue and a chimney.
It needs a longer chimney than an indoor one.
They give an old world charm and perfect setting.
It is strong and durable and you can use gas, wood or charcoal for it.
