Outdoor fireplace

An outdoor fireplace is like a regular fireplace that you have inside your house, but it's outside! It's a place where you can have a fire safely and enjoy being outside even if it's a little chilly outside.

The fireplace is usually made of special bricks or stones that can handle the heat from the fire. Some outdoor fireplaces are big and fancy, while others are smaller and simpler.

When you want to start a fire, you need some wood, kindling (small wood pieces), and a lighter or matches. You put the smaller wood on the bottom and then add bigger pieces on top. Then you light the wood with the lighter or matches.

Once the fire starts, you can sit around the fireplace with your family and friends. You can roast marshmallows or hot dogs over the fire or just enjoy the warmth and the light from the flames.

It's important to be safe when you use an outdoor fireplace. Always make sure there's an adult supervising, and never leave the fire unattended. You should also have a bucket of water or a hose nearby just in case the fire gets out of control.

Overall, an outdoor fireplace is a fun and cozy way to spend time outside with your loved ones!
