Choosing an Outdoor Firepit or Fireplace

It’s beginning to look like fall and you all know how much I love fall. I’ve been thinking about getting a firepit so that I can enjoy these cool nights outside for a bit. And roasting marshmallows and making s’mores sounds like so much fun. Here’s a few options that I’ve found.
If you’re looking for the most inexpensive firepit or if you don’t plan to use it very often, then this might be the choice for you. These simple firepits range from $59-75. This particular one was found at Lowe’s Home Improvement for $59.
This firepit was my husband’s favorite. He likes that it includes four benches which can mostly tuck under the pit when not in use. This one is also found at Lowe’s Home Improvement for $199.
If you don’t like the look of a firepit, you might consider an outdoor fireplace. This one is metal like a firepit, but has an upright design to it. This one is available at Lowe’s Home Improvement for $179.
If you don’t like the look of the black metal or if you prefer an enclosed fireplace, then you might like the clay chimnea. It is also available at Lowe’s Home Improvement for only $79.
So far, I have shopped at Lowe’s Home Improvement, Home Depot, Target, and Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart and Lowe’s Home Improvement provided the best selections. Wal-Mart only sold firepits but they did have great prices. Most of their selection is by Better Homes & Gardens.
Have you considered an outdoor firepit or fireplace?

We’ve been thinking about getting one. I really like that second one you have there, with the seats. I might have to look that one up. I’m thinking about getting a firepit for my husband for Christmas this year.
We just moved into our house and we were going to put in a deck. Now we’re talking about putting in a patio instead. Then we were going to put in a firepit and now my husband is talking about building our own when we build the patio. I hope we can decide on what we want and most of all, I hope it won’t be too costly!
