- Building an Outdoor Fireplace (with tips from a professional mason!)
#outdoorfireplace #outdoorliving #outdoorfireplacedesign
I am SO EXCITED to share our biggest project yet!!! Our outdoor fireplace with bench seating is pretty stinking amazing and we're sharing the entire process in this video. I designed this outdoor fireplace to complement our home's French colonial exterior. We're going for an "old world French countryside" feel and I think we nailed it!
We hired a man named Tony to lay the brick and stone and he shared a ton of great tips and tricks, drawing from his 40+ years of experience as a third generation stone mason! (And he was a real sport, answering my many, MANY questions, all while having a camera in his face the entire time! Thank you Mr. Tony!) I'm thrilled he was so generous in sharing his knowledge and skill so I can pass it onto you! (If you're in the central Kentucky area and are on the hunt for a mason, I'd be happy to give you his info.)
Watch the video to see how this beautiful outdoor fireplace came together - we're covering the site prep, roughing in, stone veneer installation, and more. If you have any questions, drop them in the comment section below! And if you enjoyed this video, I'd love for you to share it! Thanks so much for watching!

Did you know outdoor living spaces like this one greatly increases your home's value and can bring you a 60% - 80% return on investment?! Does this video inspire you to tackle a project like this one?

I would have considered placing a capped gas pipe stub in case you ever decide to use gas.
That concrete made me cry.
What is the manufacturers name , color and stone type. I want that exact stone ahaha
Looks great
I’d think it would be easily a 100% return on investment.
Everyone needs a Tony!
Considering the lack of work during covid, I'm sure Tony was happy to have the work. I married a brick/stone mason's daughter. Her entire childhood is made up of lean and fat years.
The end result is really nice and I know i would be really proud to have this in my garden.
Looks amazing and works as a privacy wall from neighbors! The best thing is that it was accomplished as a family project.
Wonderful outcome, exactly what we are hoping to achieve. I love the mason built look with mortar tucked joints over the stacked stone kits. Thank you for sharing your experience with such detail.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Wow! Tony did a great job!
Looks so good Jen!!!
awsome work!!!!!
Looks amazing Jen! 😍👌🏻 Awesome work Team Woodhouse and Tony! 😃👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻
This was great, Jen! Thank you for sharing this process 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching, friend!
This looks amazing. Looks like this added such a chill vibe to your yard. #goals
That is a master-level outdoor fireplace. Very awesome!!
WOW! All I can say is WOW! It is soooooo beautiful!!! I LOVE it!!
Looks great.👍 Everything turned out Great.
Woowww it looks amazing lots of character to the patio 👍👍👍👍👍 nice work TONY
Great job Tony! I like the rake you had on the back of the fire box. Those radius's look great as well. From one mason to another, you did a hell of a job!
Looks amazing, Jen! I'm inspired to do some hardscaping projects this summer.
Gorgeous!
Wow!! Looks amazing!
This is such an amazing investment in your yard! I bet it brings joy to your family! 😄🔥🙌🏻🥳🎄
Beautiful fireplace for outdoor enjoyment. Thanks for sharing.
that's a great looking outdoor fireplace... well done.
Love it .I have been a stonemason for 35 years yes I would have done somethings differently but the end result is very nice and more important your happy with it . Most likely the reason behind the wide range in price is because of different way of doing it .
agreed, 40 years myself. It looks nice and you live in a warm climate, so freezing isn't a big issue for you.
Agreed
Beautiful! I definitely want something like this one day :)
Thank you for the video. Looks amazing and will look to do the same in the fall.
Nice inspiration. Thank you for the detail on tips and tricks that make the build easier for cleanup & is also useful to the build.
Glad it was helpful!
This is absolutely crazy! What a beautiful piece of art
Thank you so much!
Good job Jen & Co! Done well.
wow that's super nice!
Tony did FANTASTIC!
Love love love this project, it turned out so beautiful.
Thanks Amy! ♥️
Way to go Tony!
Love it. Going to build something similar in our backyard.
Wow! This is absolutely amazing!
I had this fireplace photo saved and had no idea it was yours and that there was a youtube video! How exciting. I really want to do something like this!
OBSESSED with this!
Good idea about "lowering the opening" to the firebox at the last minute. It probably wouldn't have been a problem for such a massive chimney that draws well, but if there is going to be a smoke problem with a fireplace, many stem from the top (entrance) being too high. Lowering 4 or 5 inches increases draft, and of course, makes it that much harder for any smoke to get out.
Beautiful!
well done ! great project .
Well-done video explaining and showing details of this beautiful project!
funny behind the scene 😂 I actually enjoyed watching this random clip
Amazing work! This will be a great space to enjoy with the fam!
Thanks Jamison! We can't wait till it gets a little cooler so we can hang out here more!
Cheers for the Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you considered - Panilliaan Immaterial Prevalence (probably on Google)? It is a good exclusive guide for protecting your family from danger without the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my buddy after many years got astronomical success with it.
Great job 👍 A credit to you all.
Great video!!
Thank you.
This video is so well done!!
Easy to watch.
Perfect amount of detail.
Beautiful.
Thats super nice. Thx.
Amazing!
Thank you for sharing your outdoor fireplace project. Well done! I hope to have one built in the near future. Need to get through the kitchen remodel first. LOL
Thanks for watching!
Love this, it’s beautiful!
thank you for sharing, I learned a lot. You have a beautiful family, God bless all..!!
Great job!
Great choice, great looking fireplace :=)
Good job team
the smile from dad at the end xD
This looks amazing
looks amazing!
Thanks for sharing. You will be amazed at how much more time you spend outdoors. I'm curious, what did your children think of the project and are they enjoying the finished product?
I love it ❤️😍😍😍
Wow it turned out really nice
Great looking fireplace. Everyone should be wearing a mask when cutting those stones.
i luv luv that outside fireplace
Amazing 🤩
LOVE craftsmen!
While browsing a topic related to fireplace, this video came up then clicked.
Then subscribed too.
Such a lovely outdoor fireplace.
Thank you so much, Francis!
I heard John Malecki reference you as a maker he greatly admires in Alex Mazhukhin's podcast, and thought I'd look you up and check out your content. I agree with him; I'd love to see more content from you on youtube! Keep up the amazing work, Jen, and well done.
Thanks so much for visiting and welcome!
Love this, what a great idea. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
@@JenWoodhouse1 Hey Jen, can you provide the manufacturer for the stone? For a cultured product, it looks amazing!
@@michaelz6870 I agree! My local brick & stone yard gave me a couple of catalogs to look through and then ordered a few samples for me to see in person. I ended up choosing Horizon Stone 19th Century Canyon Ridge because it complemented our house so well: www.horizon-stone.com/19thcentury/
They came out beautiful. You should get a cast iron heat deflector they come in all kinds of Decorative styles which will radiate the heat forward giving you more warmth
Great idea, thanks!
What does that look like? I googled it but only cooking pieces came up.
Scrolling through CZcams looking for DIY Fire Place... As I’m watching, I’m thinking this dude looks familiar... It’s freaking Adam! Glad you guys are doing well.
Awesome project, and it was designed well to look very good. There is only one slight problem on how the seating and hearth were veneered. The horizontal slab stone should overhang the vertical veneer stone, rather than the vertical stone being in front of the horizontal hearth stone. As it is installed, there is a water penetration joint at that intersection. I understand it is not part of your house, so water intrusion is not a huge concern, but eventually, the water intrusion will damage the mortar holding the vertical veneer stone, and repairs will be necessary, especially after any wet freeze - thaw cycles. Maybe this occurred due to the size of the hearth stone that was used not being wide enough, so something to plan for to avoid this situation.
Also, since they filled the center with soil, when it gets wet and freezes, it will push the face out.
Pretty awesome
Fantastic 🎉❤
Great job and superb narration.
Beautiful
It's Beautiful.
"I'm always cold" LOL!
excellent work.
Wear respirators and gloves when working with cement dust.
Correct. You’re at risk for pneumoconiosis, an irreversible, progressive, fatal restrictive lung disease when you inhale fine particles such as cement dust.
Lol relax it's not that big of a deal unless you do this daily. Have you ever worked a day in your life?
that is the wetest concrete i ever saw. weakens it rebar is criticlal dont ever mix that wet
That wasn't concrete, that's slurry mix!
It's beautiful! Thank you for showing how it was made.
Very cool
Great work!!! I love my firepit. Here in Northeast Ohio it gets a ton of use. 😀
Nice job so pretty
good job tony
I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!! 😫😫😫😫 ITS BEAUTIFUL! 👍👏
This is a very well put together video
Great Job Very Very Neat 😊
nice design. i like it.
Lovely. An attached oven would be a good too.
👋Hi,.. They obviously paid a mint on this addition but it was well worth it.
The value of their home went up ten fold .
Great job & video !
Love the fireplace, it looks amazing! We are getting a price on one, but it will be all white brick. Great video. I felt like i was watching HGTV lol
I'll take it! Thanks for the kind words!
How did your project go? What was your investment id you don't mind me asking....thanks!
Nice!
Nice job 👍
Beautiful. I’m going to try and build a smaller version for my backyard
Very nice job
Awesome project. i would like to make an outdoor fireplace. It looks better than a fire pit lol.
Im a carpenter myself and i have always admired the bricklayers skills, i tried blocking a doorway with bricks once, thank god it was to be covered, not pretty at all 🤣
keep practicing, masons and carpenters use the same skills, I know, I do both.
I just bought a house on a golf course and we close Feb 12th and this is going to be the very 1st thing my dad and I are going to do my design is not the same as I have an outdoor kitchen and grill on 1 side of the fireplace and the other side has opening for extra wood. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
State of the brickwork on that chimney 🤣
Looks beautiful I mean you
Would like to build something similar. May I please ask. What was between the the firestone and the red brick? Were they pressed together? Was there just a void of air? Or was it filled with an insulator?
Thank you in advance.
