How To Build a Fireplace

Any websites or stores that sell unique outdoor fireplaces?

There are a lot of options for an outdoor fireplace. You can also have a choice in the material to use. You can pick up ideas from http://www.outdoorfireplaceplan.com

These designs range from multiple-use fireplaces, with chimneys attached to the house, open pit fireplace with a central flue, etc. The design would depend on how large an area you have, what the weather is like in your area, wind conditions and other environmental conditions, as well as your budget.

Some fireplace designs might necessitate a makeover of your backyard. Or you might have a great valley view or mountain view, or maybe you have a pool, these are things you should also consider and make use of to your advantage.

We purchased a brand new OUTDOOR fireplace about a year ago. When we got it we used it, it lit fine, about 3 months then the weather got warm and stopped using it til it got again cold. Now it’s cold again, we went to try to ignite it, and it wont light. We know the gas is defiantly coming out of the tank…but somehow, it’s not getting through the lines to get it to ignite? We did leave it outside in the elements the whole time because we thought since it was made for outdoors, it would be fine. Any advice?

Could be a bad regulator or a sticking safety device not letting it lite up.

I have a fireplace (wood burning) that has a little vent outside that looks like a dryer vent. Apparently it sucks in fresh air from there. Due to remodeling, I need to close this up as it won’t be outside anymore and I don’t want to move it. Is it safe to do so (I don’t care about efficiency — we live in FL and rarely use the fireplace).

yes you’re ok, they don’t work half the time, if you do uses your fp, & it want draw, just crack a window
