One of the most
beautiful times in winter is to sit with your family on the
porch and enjoy the cool breeze. But with the wind growing
stronger, you lose out on the fun. Bring in an outdoor fireplace
and all problems are solved.
An outdoor fireplace is easily available in India. They are
built to provide mobility and convenience, so you can place it
wherever you deem fit.
Moreover if all the
wood or coal is a mess for you, the spurts of ash scares you
then you can opt for electric fireplaces.
Most of the outdoor fireplaces are clay chimneys. |
Clay fireplaces are
available with decorative designs in India. Clay models call for
insulation at the bottom inside with volcanic rock or sand that keeps
the fire in moderation. Else the burning can go to damageable heights
causing a crack in the clay. As clay fireplaces are meant for small and
low heat but with grand looks.
If you get a clay outdoor fireplace then a yearly coat of water sealer
or acrylic wax is required to avoid penetration of moisture, as water
should not be allowed to seep in at all.
Now if small fires do not lure you then go for cast iron fireplaces.
They are big models with big fires. High fires, roasting heat and more
can be withstood by these models. They cost a little more but then they
are definitely worth what you are looking for. Some of them also have
features like trash basket where all the ash is collected, so no mess
for you to clean. Some of them even come with cooking utensils best used
on them. All in all you get a complete set.
Now if you are looking for fires like the campfire style then look for
the grated cylinder. It can be used for roasting hotdogs, bacons etc.
For any of these units remember to keep plants off them. No hanging
branches. Put them on brick, concrete or anything that can bear the
brunt of heat. Keep children far away from it as the rods get really
hot. All in all you with an outdoor fireplace are sure to enjoy some
great after sun down time.
