Is it Time to Look into an Outdoor Fireplace?

An outdoor fireplace is often all it takes to transform an otherwise boring backyard into a lovely oasis. Both wood and gas units bring excitement and elegance to any backyard setting, and they may inspire you with more ideas to further enhance your outdoor living space.

Doodlebuggers Fireplace, Grill & Outdoor Store of Pensacola, FL, and Destin, FL, would like to share a few highlights of owning an outdoor fireplace.

Beautify your backyard

Nothing lends beauty and functionality to an outdoor space quite like a stunning, glowing fireplace customized with a look all its own.

Centerpiece for entertaining

An outdoor fireplace provides the perfect backdrop for everything from graduation parties and wedding receptions to business dinners and holiday celebrations. People love gathering around a roaring fire to socialize with friends and family.

Heat for chilly evenings

When the evenings turn cool – or downright cold – there’s no need to hide away inside the house. Your fireplace will provide significant warmth and give you yet another reason to enjoy the great outdoors, even if it’s just your backyard.

Basic or elaborate fireplace design

Many people love a simple, basic fireplace made of stone, brick or other attractive materials. Others prefer a more elaborate setup that includes a full cooking station, log-storage bins and a fancy architectural design for the overall structure.

Cooking with your outdoor fireplace

Your fireplace can serve as a grill for steaks, hamburgers, veggies and whatever else needs cooking. It’s also great for keeping foods warm and for roasting marshmallows at campouts and sleepovers. Consider adding components for an outdoor kitchen, and you may never cook inside again!

Gas or wood fuel

If you’re all about convenience, ease and speed, a gas outdoor fireplace will fit just right with your lifestyle. These appliances are simple to start and stop, easy to adjust and a breeze to maintain.

For the traditionalist, nothing can beat a blazing wood fireplace with its crackling logs and unmistakable aroma. With a wood fireplace, you’ll have action even in the most extreme power outages.

Increased home value

In real estate, the perceived value of a home is everything. An outdoor fireplace instantly increases the idea of value, usefulness and enjoyment in the minds of many buyers. If you ever choose to sell your home, your outdoor fireplace can make a difference, not only in the sold price but in how quickly the home moves off the market.
