Outdoor Fireplace FAQ
What's the difference between an outdoor fireplace and a fire pit?
An outdoor fireplace is typically taller, often enclosed with a door, and designed to direct smoke upward and away from seating — built for sitting around for longer periods. A fire pit is usually lower, open, and more focused on the visual of an open flame. If you want to sit close to the fire for an extended evening without smoke drifting into your seating area, a fireplace generally manages that better.
Is corten steel or black steel better for an outdoor fireplace?
Neither is objectively better — they suit different tastes. Corten steel develops a rust-like patina that protects the metal and needs no upkeep, giving a warmer, more rustic look over time. Black steel stays a cleaner matte black and suits a more contemporary garden. Both are fully weatherproof and built for year-round outdoor use.
Can I cook on an outdoor fireplace, or is it just for heat?
Some models in this range, particularly our BBQube heater-barbecues, are built specifically for cooking as well as warmth, with a full grill built into the design. Our BonFeu fireplaces are primarily for ambience and heat, though several support grill accessories if you want the option.
Do outdoor fireplaces need a chimney or flue installed?
No — every fireplace in this collection is freestanding and needs no installation or permanent fitting. Each one has its own integrated flue or smoke-management design, so you can place it directly on a patio or decked area and start using it straight away.
