An essential item for party gatherings and romantic evenings, an outdoor fireplace grill adds a classic touch and charm to the garden, patio, pool area or the backyard. Fireplace grills in distinctive styles and finishes are available for outdoor cooking. Some fireplace grills cook food directly over the flame, while others use indirect heat through an oven. An outdoor fireplace can be easily converted into a fireplace grill.

Most of them are made of stainless steel or other durable metal, with designer hammered copper bowls and top, fine wire mesh spark screens, one or more sliding doors, water-proof back covers, fire tools, one or more porcelain coated cooking grids, ash catchers for easy clean-up, and chimneys with rain caps. Food is placed over the cooking grid and heat is applied using an appropriate burning source.
