<p>Part of the company&#8217;s Napa Collection of outdoor fireplace kits, the Mantels Direct Helena Outdoor Wood-Burning Fireplace exudes images of the fertile and tranquil Napa Valley. It is reminiscent of open spaces, verdant vineyards, and rustic communities. Installing the Helena in your backyard is like bringing home a piece of the beautiful Napa Valley.</p>
<p>Constructed from a patented composite of concrete and fiberglass, the Helena combines the best attributes of both materials –it is lighter than pure concrete yet stronger and sturdier. In terms of its physical appearance, the fireplace looks more like concrete than fiberglass. Its texture is sandy and somewhat coarse, making it look and feel like concrete that has aged beautifully.</p>
<p>Intended for outdoor installation, the concrete and fiberglass mixture is designed to continually cure as it is exposed to moisture. Indeed, it actually grows stronger with age. Four colors are available to choose from, including terra cotta, tan, midnight, and stone gray.</p>
<p>The Helena fireplace is delivered unassembled but it comes with clear illustrated assembly instructions. It consists of the main body, hearth, base insulator, right and left insulators, back insulator, locking clips, hood, spark arrester, and grate. All components are designed to interlock with each without the need of any fastener, mortar, or glue. You do not even need any tool. Just push the appropriate parts against each until you hear a click, use the supplied locking clips where needed, put in the hearth and grate, load and light the logs, and enjoy a rustic and romantic dancing and crackling fire.</p>
<p>The Mantels Direct Helena Outdoor Wood-Burning Fireplace is a medium-size fireplace. Its hood reaches up to 68 inches high. It stands on a rectangular base measuring 32 inches wide and 28 inches deep. The opening into the firebox is about 17 inches wide and 19 inches high.</p>

With an aged concrete look, the Williamston Model 20.011.23 Outdoor Fireplace exudes memories of times past when life was simpler and slower, and when people had plenty of time to lounge in the backyard or on the patio around the fire during the cold months.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/williamston-model-20-011-23-outdoor-fireplace.jpg" alt="Williamston Model 20.011.23 Outdoor Fireplace" title="Williamston Model 20.011.23 Outdoor Fireplace" width="300" height="300" class="aligncenter"/></p>
<p>With an aged concrete look, the Williamston Model 20.011.23 Outdoor Fireplace exudes memories of times past when life was simpler and slower, and when people had plenty of time to lounge in the backyard or on the patio around the fire during the cold months. Given its old world appeal, you probably will try to find the time to spend your nights around the fireplace whether alone contemplating, with a glass of red wine in your hand, or with your family and friends frolicking, roasting marshmallows for your smores.</p>
<p>The Williamston fireplace is made of a composite of concrete and fiberglass thus bringing into the mix the best that the two components have to offer. The result is an extremely strong and durable material that surpasses concrete alone. In spite of this, it remains lightweight. </p>
<p>Being made partly out of concrete, the fireplace has a silvery sandy appearance textured in a way to give it a distressed and aged look. While the main body of the fireplace has a plain and smooth surface, the mantle around the firebox and the base are finished with simulated broken concrete with no regular pattern. An embossed arch separates the mantle from the rest of the fireplace&#8217;s façade. </p>
<p>Assembling the fireplace is a cinch. It consists of only 10 parts that you can put together like a Lego set, without any need for adhesives, whether mortar or glue. The parts interlock tightly with each other assuring you that the fireplace can withstand windy weather conditions.</p>
<p>Fire from the Williamston Model 20.011.23 Outdoor Fireplace can come either from wood or from gas. A wood grate and spark arrestor come with the unit. If you opt for the gas model, you can accessorize with the Country Oak Log Set or fire glass that come in 10 different colors. These, however, are options not included with the fireplace.</p>
<p>Overall dimensions of the fireplace are 32&#8243; W x 68&#8243; H x 28&#8243; D. The firebox, on the other hand is 17&#8243; W x 35&#8243; H x 19&#8243; D. At 750 lbs., it cannot be easily toppled over.   </p>

<p>Exuding a rustic appeal especially with the combination of the white quartz hood and chimney with a firebox and base colored with the brownish orange of terracotta, the Buschbeck Model 40 33886 10220 5 Cape Cod Outdoor Fireplace is perfect for your patio or garden. The firebox and the base are separated by a white quartz mantelpiece. At its front section is an embedded brilliant copper inlay, which further enhances its charm. The entire fireplace stands on a base plate of white quartz.</p>
<p>The fireplace is made of steel-reinforced concrete that assures durability and strength even if it is exposed to the elements. Its quartz finish is equally rugged and is designed to withstand both heat and cold. Maintaining the fireplace is easy. Cleaning is not even necessary, but if you choose to do so, a light pressure wash, or water and brush, will suffice. As for the copper inlay, you can let it develop a patina of its own, although you can opt to give it a shine with ordinary metal polish. </p>
<p>The firebox consists of a base and a three-piece refractor insert that enhances air circulation and provides thermal insulation. Those on the sides of the firebox each have three grooves where the included cooking grill can be inserted. These allow you to place the grill closer or farther from the fire depending on the food you are cooking. For this, you can use either wood or charcoal.</p>
<p>Below the mantelpiece is a hollow base. Like the firebox that has the dual function of heating and cooking, the base also has the dual function of supporting the firebox and serving as a storage area for firewood.</p>
<p>The Buschbeck Model 40 33886 10220 5 Cape Cod Outdoor Fireplace requires assembly, but it comes with a detailed set of instructions.  When put together, it towers almost 7 feet. It is 44 inches wide and 26 deep. </p>

<p>The grand design of the Woodland Direct Rockwood Grand Fireplace makes it stand out as the central attraction of any garden, courtyard, or wide terrace. Measuring 102 inches high, 60 wide, and 48 deep, this magnificent fireplace is made of sturdy Rockwood bricks, Lennox Hearth Products stainless steel, and Super-Stik Mortar. It is specially structured to withstand extreme weather conditions to ensure continued outdoor use.</p>
<p>The Rockwood Grand comes with clear step-by-step instructions to allow for easy installation. There are three earth color options to choose from to match the overall architectural style of your home namely, bluestone, desert, and Santa Fe. The bricks are carefully layered with Super-Stik Mortar to create a tight bond between each brick. Enhancing the elegance of this grand fireplace are hand-cut concrete mantels with chiseled edges inserted between layers and crowning the topmost layers depending on the desired design.</p>
<p>Set in the center, the main feature of this brick fireplace is a spacious wood burning insert made of Lennox Hearth Products stainless steel. A 4-foot stainless stovepipe chimney and a spark suppressor cap that act as an essential safety gadget complete the package.</p>
<p>Optional accessories include a grand woodbox that can be fitted on each side of the fireplace as a safe storage for log supplies and for easy access to the logs as well. With a width of three feet for each woodbox, these two woodboxes could extend the width of the whole  brick fireplace to another six feet or a total length of 11 feet. For a country estate, a classic hearth with concrete top and solid brick walls can be constructed to create a rustic appearance. An intricately designed wrought iron diamond-shaped decor can also be added to grace the front wall of the fireplace to augment your home design.</p>
<p>The Woodland Direct Rockwood Grand Fireplace is no doubt a centerpiece in your outdoor living area that will be admired by your family and envied by others, ensuring years of enjoyment and pride.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/fire-pits-endless-summer-waf501cs-outdoor-fireplace.jpg" alt="Fore Pits Endless Summer WAF501CS Outdoor Fireplace" title="Fire Pits Endless Summer WAF501CS Outdoor Fireplace" width="280" height="280" class="aligncenter"/></p>
<p>An ogee roof with double curves makes the Fire Pits Endless Summer WAF501CS Outdoor Fireplace an attractive addition to your patio or garden. In the middle of the roof is a vent that opens on four sides, which is topped with an elongated knob for décor.</p>
<p>The roof is supported by four steel posts which, in turn, stand on a heavy-duty steel base that is patterned after the design of the roof. Four feet elevate the base a few inches from the ground. This helps protect your patio by keeping the heated bottom of the fireplace from close contact with the patio floor. </p>
<p>The entire fireplace is surrounded by a durable steel grate that neither blocks your view of the fire, nor the flow of heated air. It actually gives you a 360° view and warmth. It also protects you from sparks and embers that might float from the burning wood, and also keeps your kids or pets who might want to know if fire is really hot. To keep the grate from sagging, flat bars are incorporated to support them. There are two vertical and two horizontal bars on each side.</p>
<p>Access to the fire is through a large door that spans the entire front side of the Endless Summer WAF501CS. This swings out to make loading of wood fuel and tending to it convenient. An ash receiver catches the residue from wood burning. As it is removable, emptying it is quick and easy.</p>
<p>The Fire Pits Endless Summer WAF501CS Outdoor Fireplace is colored black. As it was designed for outdoor use, it can take punishment from the weather. You can keep it out for your outdoor barbecues regardless of the time of the year. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/sonoma-outdoor-fireplace.jpg" alt="Sonoma Outdoor Fireplace" title="Sonoma Outdoor Fireplace" width="280" height="280" class="aligncenter"/></p>
<p>Finished with a tan stucco, the Sonoma Outdoor Fireplace has a sturdy and durable surface that can withstand exposure to the elements, whether sun, rain, or snow. This finish, being an earth color, also makes the fireplace easily blend with its surroundings. You can, however, repaint the stucco in another color that might be more suitable.</p>
<p>The Sonoma is a prefabricated fireplace. It is delivered disassembled into five parts, or six including the log set, but it is easily put together. Anybody who knows how to play Lego can put the parts together in about half an hour. Once the fireplace is assembled, all you need to do is tap it into a gas supply, and you are ready to enjoy a warm and cozy night under the moon and the stars. </p>
<p>The fireplace insert is made of glass fiber reinforced concrete or GFRC. With this reinforcement, the tensile strength of the insert is increased making it less likely to crack. Owing to the resistance of glass fibers to alkali, the fireplace is especially protected from environmental conditions. The mantel that surrounds the opening of the fireplace, and top cap are also made of this same material.</p>
<p>The fire surround, on the other hand, consists of a galvanized frame system that is supported by a Hardibacker board, a James Hardie International product. On the other side of the board is the stucco outside finish. </p>
<p>A realistic–looking gas log set that includes the logs and a burner comes with the Sonoma Outdoor Fireplace to give it the look of a traditional hearth. The burner is fuelled either by propane or natural gas at your option. </p>
<p>The burner can generate 60,000 BTUs per hour thus providing you with sufficient heat even on cold wintry nights. It also displays flickering flames that dance around the logs making your night even more delightful.</p>

<p>Constructed out of the finest quality brushed stainless steel and clay firebrick fired and baked in kilns and arranged either in the herringbone or traditional stacked pattern, the FMI Portofino JM36 Mosaic Masonry Woodburning Fireplace makes a durable and attractive centerpiece on your patio. </p>
<p>The stainless steel construction of the JM36 assures that the fireplace is resistant to rust or corrosion. Owing to the steel&#8217;s chromium content, it is also resistant to water and thus will not stain when exposed to moisture. </p>
<p>The huge firebox and hearth are lined with terra cotta firebrick giving it the look of a traditional fireplace. The firebrick is available in two colors, brownish orange or grayish white. These conceal all sheet metal thus giving the fireplace a true masonry appearance. </p>
<p>Installation of the firebrick lining is quick and easy as the JM36 comes with a kit that includes templates for the laying of the bricks. The templates can be snapped and locked on the firebox walls and hearth. They have labeled slots that correspond to the pre-cut bricks. All you need to do is look for the firebrick with the same label and insert it into the corresponding slot. Once done, use the bagged hi-temp mortar that comes with the fireplace to grout the bricks.</p>
<p>The log grate that comes with the JM36 is made of 0.63-inch stainless steel bars. It is handcrafted to provide a stable rack for your logs preventing them from rolling or dropping. </p>
<p>With the FMI Portofino JM36 Mosaic Masonry Woodburning Fireplace you are assured of warm evenings on your patio even during the colder months. You and your family and friends can gather around the fire to watch the flickering fire, listen to the crackling sounds, and smell the aroma of burning logs and have a taste of how people warmed themselves in olden times.  </p>

<p>The Monessen HWB700OD Radiant Wood Burning Fireplace can deliver this. It is a pre-fabricated firebox in stainless steel with firebrick lining the hearth and firebox designed in a herringbone pattern. These are refractory thus redirecting the heat thrown at them to the opening. For extra durability, they are also reinforced with steel mesh. To give it the look of a real masonry fireplace you can use bricks, marble, slate, or granite as finishing materials around its flange. </p>
<p>Owing to its stainless steel construction, the fireplace resists rust and corrosion guaranteeing years of service even when installed outdoors. A draining system is incorporated on the hearth to prevent rainwater from accumulating. In the event that you would rather use gas logs in place of real wood, a side gas line is available. With its built-in flue damper, the flow of air into the fireplace and out of the L-series chimney is regulated.   </p>
<p>The fireplace features a huge front opening, measuring 44 inches wide and 27 inches high, which gives you a huge view of the blazing fire. As an option, you can install stainless steel-framed glass doors.</p>
<p>The Monessen HWB700OD Radiant Wood Burning Fireplace has dimensions of 53.125&#8243; W x 52.875&#8243; D x 26.375&#8243; D.  </p>

<p>The simple design of the Firestone San Juan Fireplace makes it suitable for installation in a variety of garden settings, regardless of the type of plants in them or their particular style. The body is almost like a box with a chimney-like projection on top, except that it&#8217;s not really a chimney. </p>
<p>It is constructed of HardieBacker cement boards from James Hardie, with a galvanized steel frame system. Its exterior is finished with stucco that can be painted. The walls of the firebox are lined with bricks arranged in a herringbone pattern. Around its opening is a mantle made glass fiber-reinforced concrete. The top cap is also made of the same material. </p>
<p>The fireplace is equipped with a gas log set that is fuelled with either propane or natural gas. This includes a burner and the logs. It is not, however, convertible from propane to natural gas or vice-versa. Upon purchase, you will have to make a choice between the two. Using a standard 20-lb tank, the burner can continually burn from 6 – 8 hours. The set does not need a chimney as it vents in front of the fireplace. </p>
<p>The heat output of the burner is rated at 60,000 BTUs, and it is capable of heating an area of 10 square feet. This is wide enough for a good number of your family or friends as you gather in your garden on cold nights enjoying the clean and crisp air, perhaps with a bottle of wine for the grown-ups and s&#8217;mores for the children.</p>
<p>The Firestone San Juan Fireplace is 47 inches wide and 71.5 inches tall. It weights 400 lbs and can be installed on any flat surface. </p>

<p>Putting together the Mirage Stone Outdoor Fireplace is like assembling a set of Lego bricks. Each part has a rabbet that corresponds to a ledge or tongue on the adjacent part resulting in an interlocking construction. This makes assembly easy and indeed any person with basic do-it-yourself skills can get the job done in about an hour. As you won&#8217;t need mortar or any other bonding material, or any fastener, the only tool you&#8217;ll need is a level. </p>
<p>This Mirage Stone model is a square fireplace. You can opt for the regular solid walls, called the BBQ unit, or for screened see-through walls on all sides, or on one or two sides, which is known as the Multi-Screen. Using advanced technology from the science of materials, the components of the fireplace include expanded shale and luminite. These result in sturdy and durable blocks that quickly dissipate heat and thus avoid any stress from prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.</p>
<p>Another option you have with the fireplace is its fuel. You can choose to have one designed for charcoal or wood if you prefer the traditional type. On the other hand, if you are more concerned with the ease of igniting the fire, you can go for either a natural gas or propane burning stove. You may, however, need a licensed contractor to install your natural gas line. If you choose the latter, gas logs are available to give your fireplace a traditional look. </p>
<p>In order to match the dominant color on your patio or garden, Mirage Stone is offered in four colors –pewter, tan, sandstone, taupe, and a combination of black and gray. To open the powder coated steel doors, there are five different designs of door handles you can choose from. These are horses, birds, trees, cacti, and a plain horizontal bar.  </p>
<p>Including the chimney, the Mirage Stone Outdoor Fireplace is 71 inches tall. It has a width and depth of 51.5 inches. When all parts are put together, it weighs 1,300 lbs. </p>
