Outdoor Fireplaces
Outdoor fireplaces provide you with the opportunity to spend your time in your patio grilling your favorite dish. Even in cold weather. It is an excellent place where you can hang out with your family and friends watching the flickering flames and perhaps contemplating what Prometheus suffered for his crime of stealing fire in Mount Olympus and giving it to man. Of course, the design of your outdoor fireplace will greatly influence your satisfaction and the time you spend around it.

The design of your outdoor fireplace will give you a general idea of how it will look like when constructed. It does not go into specifics but it is necessary to provide a broad framework within which to map out the nuts-and-bolts of the actual construction and to prepare the blueprints and plans. It may be a rough sketch of the structure and its possible general location.
The starting point of a good design is a study of the main house and its surrounding structures. The size of the house and the yard are major considerations. You do not want a fireplace that is almost as big as your house, or one that occupies over half the space in your yard. Also, the architectural design of the house and the materials it is made of influence that of the fireplace. If it is highlighted with green slate, for instance, then choose a fireplace design that will allow the use of the same type of stone.
