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.
