Baby it’s cold outside

Even though the longest day of the year is quickly approaching, once the sun goes down, it gets chilly quickly. That’s when I start to wish for an outdoor fireplace, like this one at Unica Home. I wonder what the strata council would have to say about that!

My parents have one like this from Canadian Tire. I don’t even need to check with my local fire department to know that’s not okay.

Not as romantic (for me) or exciting (for my borderline-pyromanic fiance), but probably legal, these natural gas heaters have come down in price in recent years. Maybe we’ll throw one on the registry.

    Hm. The open pit stye at the top is problematical to some codes, but the enclosed one should be allowable in most areas. Are you in a particularly dry climate?

    Curious to know more about what is and isn’t allowed in your neck of the woods, and wondering if I should check my assumptions on my (enclosed, sim. to the one you show) little firepit…

    Well the first one wouldn’t fly here (NoCal). But we have one similar to the second that’s OK. The fire is screened and there is a screen on the chimney. Granted we don’t use it in the summer dry season, though when the fog moves in it would be nice!
