When it comes to a fireplace, there are two choices you have to decide on first — should you go for an indoor fireplace or an outdoor fireplace. The good thing about having an indoor fireplace is that you can get cozy within the four walls of your living space and, at the same time, save energy. Instead of using your heater to provide warm inside your home, you can opt to sit near the fireplace and feel warm.
An outdoor fireplace, on the other hand, can keep you warm all throughout the night. Aside from that, it is also a great way to entertain your guests and enjoying your outdoors more. Who says you cannot enjoy the cold air outdoors when you can just warm it up with your outdoor fireplace? The good thing about building a fireplace outdoors is that there are no height restrictions.

Burning wood gives off fumes that can be damaging, in an open outdoor space there will be nothing to worry about.
