Convenience of a Modular Outdoor Fireplace

When you entertain guests and have cookouts on your outdoor patio or backyard, having an outdoor fireplace can make things a lot easier and enjoyable. A modular outdoor fireplace is one of the most popular types with homeowners. This type of fireplace is built by assembling different components. The components are usually two vertical sides and a back. A headstone or horizontal lintel is placed on top of the back and above this lintel, you can keep a mantel shelf or you could opt for other components that are horizontal or modular additions.
