We all have great memories of gathering around a fire pit—roasting marshmallows and telling stories or listening to a guitar.
And that’s what makes fire so compelling. It’s a place to gather with family and friends to reflect and meditate.
To warm hands and hearts, bring comfort and cheer), no outdoor space is complete without a fire pit or essential fire features.
So, if you're wondering where to find a custom fire pit builder to help you design and install your fire pit, we’re here to lend a hand.
From standard fire pits to advanced layouts with all the fire features you could imagine, your tradition of spending evenings around the fire starts here.
Custom Wood Burning and Smokeless Fire Pits
Like anything customizable, fire pit options vary. From standard wood burning firepits to gas firepits, the style of your fire pit can take on many forms.
Custom block (masonry or stone) fireplaces are a popular option for a more intimate experience.
But smokeless fire pits like the ones Breeo offers, are classy and portable—without taking away from a cozy atmosphere.
Whether installed into the flooring of your patio (or movable), fire pits are a great option for larger groups as they offer 360-degree seating around the fire.
This means better access for roasting marshmallows, having individual or group conversations, and keeping warm during cooler evenings.
With our many wood burning and gas fire pits, you’re sure to find the best fit for your outdoor space.
Smokeless Fire Pits
If you love the warmth of a fire but not the smoke that comes with it, don't worry.
There are some great smokeless fire pits on the market today. A smokeless fire pit combines the best of a wood and gas fire pit. Think of a fire pit that offers the sound of wood crackling but with extreme heat control.
You still need wood for fuel, but a smokeless fire pit offers the same exposed flames (without smoke) as a gas fire pit.
The plus side is that smokeless fire pits meet burn restrictions—without diminishing the aspect of enjoying the warmth, sound, and feel of an outdoor fire pit.
Founded in high-quality craftmanship, Breeo is one of the best smokeless fireplace manufacturers out there.
With Breeo’s great add-ons (such as grills and stew pot hangers), cooking over an open fire is an amazing experience
They offer customizable smokeless fire pits for outdoor entertainment of all types, so you’re able to create the outdoor atmosphere of your dreams.
Gas vs. Wood Fireplaces
Next, let's talk about outdoor fireplaces and the warm element they bring to relaxing on your patio.
When it comes to outdoors fireplaces for your patio, wood is king for ambience and realistic experience.
However, wood fireplaces are more work to keep burning and produce smoke (a bother if you don’t enjoy that part of the experience).
Additionally, a wood burning fireplace might not meet some cities’ burn restrictions—which is something to consider when deciding on an outdoor fireplace.
If you don’t mind chopping (or buying) wood and the occasional whiff of smoke, then a wood fireplace is for you!
Gas Fireplaces
Here's a low-maintenance, popular outdoor fire feature: gas fireplaces.
Unlike a wood fireplace, you don’t need to keep feeding an outdoor gas fireplace. But you won’t get the same aesthetic and crackle of wood that a wood fireplace offers.
In contrast, gas fireplaces offer convenience and cleanliness as well as diverse options—such as fire glass and more.
Gas fireplaces outfitted with colorful fire gems and fire glass set the tone for a warm outdoor environment on your back patio.
Additionally, gas fireplaces are also available in natural or propane burners, depending on your liking.
Regardless of your preference, most of our fireplaces are available in round, square, or rectangular styles.
Outdoor Fire Tables
Another fire feature option is the gas fire table, which is usually set within an outdoor table or a freestanding wall-type setting.
Gas fire tables are usually higher off the ground than fire pits and are typically used for ambience and as a warming station.
These outdoor fire tables are often custom-built in various shapes and sizes—with glass around the edge to protect the flame from the wind.
The beauty of gas fire tables is that, with a music city burner option, they can be synchronized to music for the ultimate entertainment scene.
Where to Place Your Outdoor Fire Feature
Where you install your outdoor fire feature depends on two things: your current outdoor set up and how much space you want around the fire feature.
Where to Install Outdoor Fireplaces
Fireplaces work well either freestanding on the edge of a patio or under a pavilion. They can easily be tied into the design of a seat wall or outdoor kitchen.
For even more flexibility, add a pizza oven option to your fireplace for the ultimate experience.
Where to Install Outdoor Firepits
Like outdoor fireplaces, firepits can be freestanding. Additionally, firepits can be built-in to your patio area or movable.
Where to Install Movable Outdoor Firepits
For more flexibility with hosting, we recommend a movable firepit.
These firepits don’t require installation, and after the initial set up can be moved around your patio, deck, or yard.
Just make sure to use a fireproof firepit mat on different surfaces for safety.
Where to Install Built-in Outdoor Firepits
Firepits that are installed into the floor of your patio are obviously not movable, so before installation consider the space you want around this fire feature.
Once a stone or paver firepit has been installed, you can place your outdoor chairs and furniture around it for the ultimate outdoor hangout.
Where to Install Outdoor Fire Tables
Outdoor fire tables can be the center of your patio, or they can be placed off to the side, surrounded by outdoor couches and chairs.
For long-lasting results, gas fire tables need to be covered when not in use. So with this is mind, you want your fire table to be in a convenient space for entertaining and occasional maintenance.
Otherwise, gas fire tables are fairly low maintenance. Where you install your fire table is mostly dependent on the ambiance you want your outdoor space to have!
