30 Cozy Outdoor Fireplace Ideas

Nothing brings people together like a fireplace. Outdoor fireplaces can turn patios into four-season gathering places.

Outdoor fireplaces can be either permanent or portable. While portable outdoor fireplaces can be moved to add warmth to multiple locations, permanent outdoor fireplaces — such as this handsome outdoor fireplace that's combined with a teak dining table — offer an extra degree of luxury and style to your outdoor spaces.

Common outdoor fireplace materials include stone, stucco, tile and brick — plenty of options that allow you to match your backyard or deck's overall design. Outdoor fireplaces can burn wood or offer the convenience of gas fuel.
