Before buying an outdoor fireplace, there are several factors to take into account. Always remember that the safety of your family and property is the most important consideration.

1. Size matters

When comparing fireplaces, look at the size of the fire area before the height. If the firebox is small, wood buying and cutting is more difficult.

Requesting for specially cut wood from your supplier increases your cost.

Try to find a large firebox, dont bother with the tall and thin fireplace. A small firebowl will cost more down the road. You dont need a large fire just because you have a large fireplace, just use less wood to have a smaller fire.
