A Guide to Outdoor Gas Fireplaces
By Eric Morris
Imagine that you are sitting in your backyard on a cool, breezy night. You're sipping hot tea and looking at the stars. The sound of crickets chirping and frogs croaking is nature's symphony. The scent of jasmine is in the air. It's the perfect night—almost. It is a tad cold, the air a bit too nippy. If only there was a way to heat your outdoor space the way you do your home. Thanks to outdoor gas fireplaces, you can.
Outdoor gas fireplaces can range from rustic simplicity to elegant extravagance. They can be free-standing or built-in structures. A built-in fireplace can be the centerpiece of an elaborate outdoor living area. These fireplaces are designed by landscape architects or designers. Some are built by pool and spa professionals. Made of bricks and mortar, they can feature any design elements you might desire. They can be a part of an outdoor kitchen or near the pool. Many people are using outdoor gas fireplaces to make their pools and hot tubs more useful year-round. In cool months, they can sit on the deck and enjoy hot chocolate and roasted marshmallows by the fire. Others create an elaborate backyard oasis, complete with palm trees and veranda—with the fireplace an intricate part of the design.
On the flip side are the smaller, less expensive portable models. Pacific Products, for example, offers a portable outdoor gas fireplace. This lightweight fireplace can be easily transported on camping trips, to tailgate parties, or simply to your backyard deck.
Chimineas are another form of outdoor fireplaces. While these are not technically gas fireplaces, some can use natural gas inserts.
Target and Sears both offer a selection of low-cost outdoor fireplaces. These are small, portable models. You might also want to check your local retail, department, and garden supplies stores.
Montigo is another source for outdoor gas fireplaces. An internet search for "outdoor gas fireplace" will uncover even more resources.
