Monessen Villawood: an open wood fire for your patio
The Monessen Villawood is an outdoor wood burning fireplace for a deck, patio, or outdoor kitchen. It comes 36 or 42 inches wide. Pick the size on the page. The opening is about 21 inches tall, with a textured brick interior behind the flames. Your contractor frames a structure around it on the patio, runs the chimney, and finishes it in stone, stucco, or brick. It is an open fireplace with no glass, so nothing sits between you and the fire. A steel grate and stainless steel mesh curtain screens come with it.
The chimney pipe is sold separately, so ask us to quote the run. On the page you pick the size and the brick pattern. Traditional brick has straight rows. Herringbone lays the bricks at angles in a zigzag pattern. You can add folding glass doors with a stainless steel finish to close the opening between fires. It can also take a Monessen outdoor gas log set later. Comparing outdoor wood fireplaces? See the Monessen Castlewood outdoor wood burning fireplace. The Monessen Villawood ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
How do you order the Villawood with a herringbone interior?
The brick pattern is built into the model number. Each width comes as two variants: ODVILLA-36H-B and ODVILLA-42H-B carry the herringbone interior, while ODVILLA-36T-B and ODVILLA-42T-B carry traditional brick. You choose the pattern at the time of purchase rather than swapping panels later, and either version delivers the authentic masonry look the interior is designed around.
What are the mesh curtains across the opening?
They are stainless steel mesh curtain screens. The curtain design makes them effortless to use, drawing across the firebox opening whenever the fire needs screening, and the stainless construction is the reason they are built to keep looking good through years of fires and weather. Simple hardware, but it is the part you touch every time you burn.
Can the firebox be closed off between fires?
Yes, with the optional bi-fold glass doors. Finished in stainless steel, they fold across the opening to give the hearth a clean, buttoned-up appearance when nothing is burning, then fold back out of the way for a fire. They are an add-on rather than standard equipment, so include them in the original order if you want the option from day one.
Does the surround call for an unusually deep wall?
No. Framing depth is 21-1/2 inches for either size, with framing widths of 42 inches for the 36-inch model and 48 inches for the 42-inch model, under a framing height of 39-3/4 inches. Those are modest numbers for a wood-burning unit, and they are why this fireplace fits into surround projects a site-built hearth could never squeeze into.
What does a herringbone brick interior actually look like?
Herringbone sets each brick at an alternating angle so the courses form a woven zigzag, a pattern borrowed from centuries of decorative masonry. Inside a firebox it catches firelight differently than straight rows and reads as more crafted and formal. If you prefer something quieter, the traditional interior lays its brick in classic horizontal courses, and both patterns are offered in both widths.
What does the optional Fireside Realwood log set do?
It adds a gas fire for nights when building a wood fire is more ritual than you want. The Outdoor Fireside Realwood is a gas log set made for outdoor fireplaces, and the installation manuals for this unit also cover the Fireside Supreme Oak set and Monessen’s outdoor hearth kits, so the gas option can be configured more than one way. The wood-burning character stays; you simply gain an easier way to light the evening.
What comes standard before adding any options?
The steel grate, the stainless steel mesh curtain screens, and the brick interior in the pattern you selected all ship as standard, each built to look great for years. That makes this a complete choice among wood burning outdoor fireplaces from day one; the stainless-finish bi-fold doors and the Fireside Realwood gas log set are the only add-ons to consider.
