This is a lovely way to extend your summer. As the days begin to grow shorter and the evenings a little chillier, you can still relax on your patio. Toast marshmallows or hot dogs over an open fire without worrying that your backyard "campfire" might get loose to turn into a conflagration. From a brazier style simple clay pot in an iron frame to a traditional fireplace complete with a short chimney, an outdoor wood burning fireplace is the perfect way to extend your season. There will be time enough to come indoors when the winds are too cold or it rains or snows.
