			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong></strong><a href="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Outdoor-Fireplace-a.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2360" title="Outdoor Fireplace " src="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Outdoor-Fireplace-a-300x196.jpg" alt="Enjoy your backyard with an outdoor fireplace." width="300" height="196" /></a>The addition of <a title="outdoor fireplaces" href="http://www.directoutdoorliving.com/fireplace.aspx" target="_blank">outdoor fireplaces</a> makes the outdoors much more inviting in the colder months. Even in the summer, it can bring friends and family around to  roast s&#8217;mores! Here are two choices for your outdoor fireplace:</p>
<h3><strong>Brick Fireplaces</strong></h3>
<p>Brick fireplaces are often significantly cheaper than their stone counterparts. In addition, they can be simpler to work with. This will come in especially handy if you plan to build the fireplace by yourself!</p>
<h3><strong>Stone Fireplaces</strong></h3>
<p>While slightly more expensive that brick, stone also offers several advantages when building an outdoor fireplace. It can resist higher temperatures than brick, and it is better for cooking, as it lets the heat spread out evenly on the stone. Because of this, stone fireplaces are often chosen for cooking things like bread or pizza. Imagine eating freshly cooked pizza outside, hot from the stone oven!</p>
<p>Whether you choose to go with a simpler class brick fireplace, or a more upscale stone one, you certainly won&#8217;t be disappointed. An outdoor fireplace draws people around it, making your yard or patio more friendly and inviting.</p>

Outdoor fireplaces come in a variety of designs and utilities. Here are just a few.</p>
<h3><strong>Standard Fireplace</strong></h3>
<p>Just as people like to gather around a cozy fire in the colder months indoors, when the weather is warmer, they also like to sit around a fire outside. An outdoor fireplace allows for that, built as a central local in a yard which draws people and the landscape together.</p>
<h3><strong>Outdoor Grills</strong></h3>
<p>The best part about these fireplaces is the customization one can do with them. Not only can they serve as a fireplace, but they can also be designed as a grill, either wood or charcoal burning. This option provides the owner two options in one, while still adding to the aesthetic of the lawn.</p>
<h3><strong>Brick Pizza Ovens</strong></h3>
<p>Just as these fireplaces can be built to serve as an outdoor grill, they can also be built with an option for a brick pizza oven. Again adding to the appeal and utility of an outdoor space, these brick pizza ovens can also add additional value to one’s outdoor space.</p>
<p>Overall, because these outdoor fireplaces are typically custom-built structures, the sky is the limit to what one can do with them.</p>
<p><a title="DirectBuy" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">DirectBuy</a> has a wide selection of <a title="patio furniture" href="../../" target="_blank">patio furniture</a> and<a title="outdoor accessories" href="http://www.directoutdoorliving.com/" target="_blank"> outdoor accessories</a> to make your outdoors as comfortable and pleasant as the inside of your home. You&#8217;ll find a great selection of top quality brand name products at prices up to 50% off retail.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There’s nothing like the warmth and glow of an outdoor fire.  Fire rings on your patio or in your outdoor living area create such a lovely ambiance to the space.</p>
<p>Fire rings differ from most other types of outdoor fire accessories because they usually only have sides.  There is no top to a fire ring but the material of the ring itself although you can get a cover for it to keep the inner section dry when not in use.<a href="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/fire-pit.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1815" title="Outdoor Warmth" src="http://www.directpatiofurniture.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/fire-pit-300x208.jpg" alt="Add a fire ring or fire pit to you patio." width="300" height="208" /></a></p>
<h3>Ready Those Smores or Roasted Marshmallows</h3>

<h3>Economical Brick Fireplace</h3>
<p><a title="Outdoor fireplaces" href="http://www.directoutdoorliving.com/fireplace.aspx" target="_blank">Outdoor fireplaces</a> are usually constructed out of stone or brick.  When comparing prices, you will find brick is more economical than many stone choices.  Not only are they more inexpensive than some stones, they are easier to work with.</p>
<p>Brick outdoor fireplaces add beauty to patios, verandas, or any other outdoor living space.  Decorate around the fireplace with comfortable patio furniture so you can relax by a warm fire.</p>
<p>Choose from shades of red or white-washed brick to make a beautiful fireplace.  You might also like to have a gas starter added to make lighting the fire a breeze.  Create a sense of warmth on your patio with a stately brick fireplace.</p>
