But there’s more to an outdoor fireplace than the flames—you can make your fireside experience even better with these nine must-have outdoor fireplace accessories.
Masonry Wood Boxes
Don’t let wood storage be an afterthought. Instead of messy wood piles or endless treks to the shed, you can make wood storage a decorative feature. A masonry wood box can be custom made for you so that it matches or complements the shape of your outdoor fireplace’s opening. It would offer an easy and visually pleasing way to stack firewood off the ground and protected from rain, ensuring that your wood is dry and ready to use anytime.
