6. Straight Fire

Outdoor fireplaces run on wood, gas, or liquid propane and are the perfect focal point for your space. A self-contained fire pit like the Yukon Solo Stove™ (inexplicably on sale this month!) and chimineas (which keep the smoke out of your eyes) are also great options, especially for smaller spaces. Whenever possible, opt for cast iron, steel, or aluminum designs for durability. An outdoor fire offers warmth, light, and perhaps most importantly, a place to make s'mores! For maximum safety, choose a fire pit with a mesh cover or screen. If your outdoor space is situated where high winds that can carry smoke into your property, or you live in an area where burning wood is prohibited — choose a fireplace that uses gas or liquid propane instead of wood or coal. Hopefully these 6 tips will help you re-imagine your outdoor space and maximize the enjoyment you get from it. Whether you're looking to be the go-to spot for the neighborhood, or just create your own peaceful getaway that's just a few steps outside your door — the most important thing is that you make your space your own.
