Outdoor fireplaces are becoming increasingly common in outdoor living spaces such as backyards, patios, and decks, and for good reason: they provide a natural gathering, entertaining, and cooking area, and can even increase the resale value of a home. Cooking features are a particularly popular addition to outdoor fireplaces, and an outdoor fireplace with a grill and pizza oven is among the most popular options. If you are one of the many homeowners who consider outdoor and indoor cooking and barbecuing to be a seasonal tradition, you may wish to investigate the numerous options for an outdoor fireplace with a grill and pizza oven.
When planning to install an outdoor fireplace with a grill, location will be the first decision to be made. Safety should guide your decision-making here, with special care taken to avoid areas with low-hanging branches, bushes, or shrubbery, or to clear them, if necessary, of these potentially flammable elements. If you intend to place your outdoor fireplace with grill on a deck or patio, you should place a fire-resistant mat underneath it. Additionally, you should consider if your outdoor fireplace with grill will be adjacent to a dining area, or if you'll cook at the grill and then move the feast to a separate dining area with pizza oven; these considerations may affect the layout and design of your fireplace area.
You will have numerous design options for your outdoor fireplace with a grill and pizza oven, ranging from traditional brick, stone, and stucco to modern granite and even metal models. If you intend to hire a stone mason to construct a custom-designed outdoor fireplace, you will have complete control over the design, size, and construction materials. Custom-built units are almost always significantly more expensive than prefabricated, modular, or portable units, despite their adaptability. If you choose a prefabricated or modular unit, you may still be able to customize the exterior with a thin layer of stone, stucco, brick, or granite, simulating the look of a custom-built structure at a fraction of the cost.
In general, however, hiring a stone mason will automatically place you in the range of $3,000 or more for an outdoor fireplace with a grill; more intricate or larger scale designs featuring expensive materials potentially costing as much as ten times that figure. When it comes to your budget, a custom build for your outdoor fireplace with a grill and pizza oven will depend on the size, scope, and materials you'd like to feature in the construction. The prices of NorCal Fire & Grill's outdoor fireplaces that come with grills and pizza ovens are significantly lower than those of comparable products sold by competitors. Your contemporary home in NorCal can be built from a selection drawn from a large pool of options.
