Outdoor Heating

Looking for outdoor heating that does more than just take the chill off? Our collection brings together fire pits, freestanding fireplaces and heater-barbecues — all built around real wood or charcoal flame, not a plug socket. Browse by type below, or read on to find the right fit for your garden.

Real flame, not just heat

Most "patio heater" and "garden heater" searches turn up the same mushroom-shaped gas or electric poles — we don't stock those. Instead, this collection is built around real fire: wood and charcoal flame across our fireplaces and heater-barbecues, plus the instant convenience of gas in our fire pit tables, because we think the atmosphere of an actual flame matters as much as the warmth. If you're after a patio heater alternative with a real fire to gather round, our BonFeu fireplaces and BBQube heater-barbecues do the job properly — with the added bonus that BBQube doubles as a genuine outdoor cooking setup, not just a heat source.

Fire pits, fireplaces, or something that cooks too?

Each type of outdoor heating in this collection suits a slightly different way of using your garden:

• Fire pits — open, low, and built for gathering around. Best if ambience and a classic open flame matter most to you.
• Outdoor fireplaces — taller, often enclosed, and designed to direct smoke away from where you're sitting. Best for longer evenings without smoke drifting into your seating area.
• Heater-barbecues — our BBQube range combines wood or charcoal warmth with a full cooking grill, so you get outdoor heating and an outdoor kitchen in one footprint.

If you're still deciding between a fire pit and a fireplace, the short
version: fire pits are about the visual of an open flame, fireplaces
are built for comfort over a longer sitting. Most people choose based on how long they plan to sit outside and whether smoke management matters to them.

Chimeneas and freestanding fireplaces

If you've been searching for a chiminea, our freestanding outdoor
fireplaces cover much of the same ground — a contained, vertical flame built for safety and warmth, just with a more contemporary design than the traditional clay chiminea shape. Available in corten steel or black steel, depending on the look you want for your garden.

Keep your fuel close at hand

Wood and charcoal-fuelled heating means keeping fuel dry and within reach. Our log stores are built to sit alongside any fire pit or fireplace in this collection, keeping logs seasoned and ready rather than damp at the bottom of the garden.
