Whether you’re considering a free standing wood burning stove in a sheltered corner, a simple chiminea, table fire pit, or something more substantial, heating with wood can be a design feature, and most importantly a conversation maker for your backyard.

Turning our gardens into outdoor rooms has really taken off.  We spend more free-time in our homes and want to make the most of them year round.   Whilst a conventional patio heater will keep the chill at bay during those late summer evenings, it definitely will not add to the atmosphere.

Adding an outdoor wood burner always creates an atmosphere.  The involvement in stocking up the logs, or rearranging embers brings people together and can really turn your garden into a place of fun and enjoyment.  Plus, many outdoor wood burning heaters offer the chance to cook food too, which always gets the party started.  Even the most modest chiminea offers the chance to create some perfect marshmallows!

Thinking literally ‘outside of the box’ and installing some form of outside wood burner means that even if you are not a home owner, you can still enjoy the atmosphere of heating with wood.

Budgets vary enormously and outdoor wood burners can be bought for a little or a lot.  There are a wide range of great chimineas, fire-pits and outdoor wood burners to peruse.   And, because these are for heating up your outdoors space it is easier to let your imagination run wild.  We always seem more able to have fun with our outdoors space, no matter how conservative our interior decor.  So be bold, be brave and enjoy your garden all year round by heating with wood - outdoors!
