An outdoor wood burning fireplace creates a classic gathering spot with the crackle and scent of a real fire. This page lists outdoor-rated wood burning fireplaces and fire features for patios, terraces and gardens. Compare the firebox size, the construction material, the chimney or spark arrestor setup and the required clearances. Wood fires need more care than gas, including firewood storage, ash cleanup and checking local burn rules. If you want a hassle-free option, compare these with the outdoor gas fireplaces elsewhere on the site, but if you value tradition, wood is hard to beat.

Check local burn regulations first, because some areas restrict wood fires or require permits and spark arrestors. Choose a location that is clear of trees, structures and dry grass, with a level non-combustible base. A taller chimney helps with smoke and draft, and a wide hearth gives room for tending the fire. Look at the material, such as steel or masonry, and how it handles weather. Think about storage for dry firewood, tools and ash, and about a cover to keep rain out when the fireplace is not in use. Always keep a means of putting out the fire close at hand.
Its chimney and enclosed firebox help control sparks and smoke, but it still needs a safe location, supervision and a non-combustible base.
Only if the manufacturer and your local codes allow it, with the required overhead clearances and ventilation. Smoke and sparks make enclosed use unsafe.
