An outdoor fireplace gives your patio a focal point for gathering, with warmth and ambiance to help you extend the evening. Start with the fuel you want, then decide whether you need a built-in firebox, a finished piece or a fire shared by two spaces. Our collection includes more than 55 choices, from traditional log fires to low, wide flames over glass. You can plan a cozy backyard seating area or make the fire part of an outdoor kitchen wall. Think about how you like to entertain and what your outdoor living space has room for.


Outdoor fireplaces by fuel

Choose outdoor gas fireplaces for traditional logs or linear glass-bed fires in a patio wall. Order for natural gas or propane. Most need no chimney. Ignition options include match, push button and electronic lighting, and many have a remote.

Our outdoor wood burning fireplaces have open fireboxes for real logs. Plan for a double wall chimney pipe and somewhere to keep firewood.

For a covered patio, browse outdoor electric fireplaces. These plug-in linear units need an outlet and run from a remote or an app.

Kits, see-through and linear styles

Browse outdoor fireplace kits for finished cast-concrete pieces that arrive ready to set in place, or ready-to-finish shells for your own stone, tile or stucco. Most other choices are fireboxes or complete units your contractor frames into a wall.

Choose see-through fireplaces to share one fire between two seating areas. An indoor outdoor fireplace sits in an outside wall between the living room and patio. These units need venting.

For a low, wide shape, explore linear fireplaces. Consider how that shape fits your seating or an outdoor kitchen wall. Stainless steel fireboxes are made to stay outside.

Ideas and planning

Before choosing, explore outdoor fireplace ideas for your backyard retreat. Think about the view from each seat and where guests will walk. Widths range from 36 to 120 inches across the collection, so check the space with your contractor before settling on a shape.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best fireplace for outside use: gas, wood or electric?

Gas lights at the flip of a switch and, on most models here, needs no chimney. Wood brings crackle and smell but needs firewood and a chimney. Electric plugs in on a covered patio and can run the flame with the heat off. Choose by how much work you want.

Is an outdoor fireplace worth it?

It can turn your patio into an outdoor room for fall and winter evenings. It gives seating a focal point and blocks wind on one side. A wood-burning unit with a chimney carries smoke up and away from guests.

Can you put an outdoor fireplace on a deck?

Yes, with the right unit and deck support. Gas needs framing; wood needs a structure and chimney. Electric can hang on a covered porch wall. Your contractor checks deck load and clearances against the manual and local code.

Outdoor fireplace or fire pit?

A fireplace suits a defined outdoor room, directs heat toward seating and blocks wind. A chimney carries wood smoke upward. A fire pit or fire pit table suits an open patio or lawn where people gather all the way around.
