Earth, Air, Water, and Fire

Bringing fire outside to your yard, garden, pool deck or patio can sometimes be a haphazard learning experience. Where exactly do you put your outdoor fire pit? How close exactly do you want it to the house?

Many people are aware that fire can be one element they may want to keep out of their yard and away from their home, but many people enjoy a cozy fire, even outside, on a cool night. Now with advanced products, a simple fire can be displayed without the mess. A pit, an outdoor fireplace and other items can be used to create a nice look of an outdoor fire. Placed near a pool or set out just for a party on the patio, it can keep the mood and be romantic and fun.

So how do you know what you would like to use for an outdoor fire? Some more popular decorative pieces for fires are chimineas,which are Alternate versions of old fire ovens. They come in various sizes but the smaller versions seem to be the most popular. Most are decorative only, and can be set in the corner and be lit without heating an entire area.

However, for more practical use and just as decorative, a fire ring or designated and designed fire pit can provide both heat, light and usefulness. Roasting marshmallows or even cooking an entire meal on a fire pit can be a great experience. Fires in pits like these can be toned down for summer fun as well as turned up for winter comfort.

Can you believe that many fire rings and fireplaces are actually transportable. No more going to the camp ground and finding a soggy hole where a fire pit used to be. You can now bring your own and guarantee a safe place for a fire.

Avoid unsightly damage to your property and have more of a designer element to your yard by using the portable fire ring or using one of the chimineas instead of digging a pit.
