Classic Outdoor Wood Burning Fireplaces




The best outdoor wood burning fireplaces embody the ideal cozy backyard retreat. You can add wood burning fireplace inserts for improved heating efficiency. In addition, you can ensure your comfort with outdoor fireplace accessories such as glass fireplace enclosures and fireplace blowers.


Outdoor Wood Burning Fireplaces


These fireplaces are usually made of masonry. They are good for creating adding warmth to a design style. They don’t produce much heat because most of the heat goes up through the chimney. However, they are good at creating the sound or smell that you may like in a little outdoor retreat.

These fireplaces tend to create a bit of pollution. One possible solution is to use seasoned wood or low emission wood burning hearth products. A second solution is to use wood burning fireplace inserts. There are two types available that reduce emissions: the Clean-burning fireplace and the EPA-certified fireplace. They are insulated so they burn more efficiently and create significantly more heat. In addition, they produce much fewer pollutants.

Wood Burning Fireplace Inserts
These inserts consist of a firebox surrounded by a steel shell and a glass fireplace enclosure. These inserts draw in air, funnel it around the shell so that it is heated by the firebox, and then blow it out of the front of the fireplace. In addition, glass fireplace enclosures radiate heat from the front of the fireplace. The overall effect is less heat dissipates up the chimney and more heat is available for you and your guests.

The addition of outdoor fireplace accessories can greatly increase the usability of your outdoor fireplace. A decorative fireplace screen could complement a traditional fireplace design. In addition, a fireplace on an enclosed porch could create more heat with a fireplace blower. Decorative grates or bellows could also enhance your fireplace design.
