Spoilt For Choice With Modern Indoor and Outdoor Fireplaces
Log burning fireplaces has always been a symbol of warmth, family, and romance, but it seemed that it was a fast disappearing luxury due to the current obsession with global warming and other environmental issues. With the advances made in modern technology, fireplaces have been making a quiet comeback and are now found even in apartments and condominiums, something unheard of in the old days.
Elegant Indoor Fireplace
Traditionally, any type of indoor fireplaces were found only in independent stand-alone homes and mansions, but technology has changed all that, and we can get fireplaces burning different types of fuel, gas, electric, and the traditional wooden logs. But the question on everyoneâEUR(TM)s lips was how to build an indoor fireplace? There are two types of wood fireplaces; the traditional masonry-type fireplaces made from bricks and stone and constructed on-site by a professional mason during home construction and the newer low-mass fireplace, pre-fabricated in a factory, brought to the site, and installed. Gas-burning fireplaces are also very popular because they do not leave any ashes or residue to clean up, and you can order them with artificial wooden logs in place, through which gas burns like in a normal fireplace.
Centers of Attraction
Many of the top manufacturers of wood burning fireplaces meet all the requirements of federal, state, and local building codes. Masonry fireplaces are made of exceedingly light material; they can be dismantled and put back together by the staff of the fireplace companies. If you are the entertaining type, you can order an outdoor brick fireplace which would be perfect for a large patio, especially when the weather is chilly. These come mainly as gas-burning fireplaces and are quickly becoming the center of attraction wherever they are installed. They are usually made from 8-inch split face concrete bricks and have a gas fire pit consisting of an in-built gas burner. The ignition system is concealed beneath a bed of lava rocks, which is the source of heat.
Return of Tradition
For people who enjoy the great outdoors, nothing beats eating home-baked pizzas and pies in a modular wood fired pizza oven made in the traditional way. These ovens which use wood as fuel when cooking, gets very hot and the masonry or stone base is perfect for baking pizzas and pies. This type of pizza tastes far superior to those cooked in a normal commercial oven, with the smoke of the wood lending the pizzas a unique flavor. Once this oven has started heating up you can make a variety of breads, pies, etc., which can be put in for baking one after the other. Due to the high heat generated, care has to be paramount, especially when children are around.
