There are few improvements you can make to your outdoor living experience that will bring a family or group of friends together like an outdoor fireplace. There is something about the mesmerizing flames and the "crack" and "pop" of a real wood burning fire that fascinates people, young and old alike. There is a deep seated affinity for fire that most of us share as human beings. After all, it was the control of fire that allowed us to take our first steps toward planetary domination. A fireplace has always been associated with "community". Fire and community has its roots in ancient times when man had to keep an eternal flame alive because he had not yet developed the technology to light a fire at whim. As far back as history can take us we find records of fires burning in the center of villages, towns and cities so all inhabitants would have free and easy access to the fire.
