You just have to decide- are you a fireplace person or fire pit person? I hope we can help you decide.

Why Go For an Outdoor Fireplace?

If you choose a fireplace, although you might have to get a permit or inspection, you will have a cool and unique structure to gather around. In addition, the structure will block the wind and create a great lounge area. You can also set up couches and chairs and gather around it and will create a greats space to talk, hand gout and sip hot chocolate. Despite blocking some views, it is also very romantic. It’s probably more expensive than a portable fire pit, but at the same time, who else has an outdoor fireplace?

Or Why Choose a Fire Pit?

Whether you choose a portable option or build a structure for the pit, it is also a great gathering place that can host way more people than an outdoor Fireplace. You can circle even up to 12 people around a fire pit roasting marshmallows if you want to. It’s easier to incorporate seating, doesn’t block views, but there’s no way to block the wind so embers may scatter around and depends on how you build it, it may be less expensive.

 Ready to Choose?

Whatever you choose, it really just depends on what you want the structure is for.  Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Do you want to host big parties or just hang with a couple people staying warm on your porch?
  • What would look better on your patio?
  • Ultimately, what look do you really want?

It’s also important to consider how your community feels about wood burning, and also to remember that there isn’t a predetermined shape your pit or fireplace has to be.
