From warm weather climates to properties built on permafrost, homeowners everywhere are discovering anew the allure of fire outdoors. With zoning laws, resources, and proximity often limiting the open bonfire enjoyed by our ancestors, fire is being tamed in a variety of attractive ways by creative landscape architects, designers, builders, and manufacturers. Today's outdoor fires radiate warmth for chilly evenings, add an attractive glow to gathered faces, form focal centers for outdoor gatherings, and provide a means of food preparation al fresco. This book presents a wide variety of ideas of outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, and cook centers. Manufactured outdoor hearth products and custom handmade masterpieces address a huge array of styles to satisfy a broad range of tastes and budgets. A selection of outdoor cook centers is also included, complete with wood burning pizza ovens. Over 200 images of designs by professional landscape architects, contractors, custom homebuilders, kitchen designers, and hearth product manufacturers were compiled to provide inspiration and present the most complete book on the subject ever published.

It's a picture book,
By Beach Bum (Indian Rocks Beach, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fire Outdoors: Fireplaces, Fire Pits, Wood Fired Ovens & Cook Centers (Schiffer Book) (Paperback)
That's all. You may be able to get some inspiration from this book, but you could do that by just searching the internet for pics. There are no plans for anything you see. If you do like something and want to build it, you'll have to go elsewhere for the details. I wouldn't have bought it if I'd seen it first. 3 stars for the pics/quality and I did get 1 good idea.

This review is from: Fire Outdoors: Fireplaces, Fire Pits, Wood Fired Ovens & Cook Centers (Schiffer Book) (Paperback)
This book has lots of nice pictures, but no design details.
It is basically a big picture book. I would have liked to see a lot more substance.
