Customer Reviews

Gas only

The book has several diagrams and specifics for a variety of outdoor fireplaces, all of which are designed for "gas". Wood burning fireplaces requirements are not included basically limiting this publication to a few useful ideas and perhaps a good start on a comprhensive materials list.

Great Guide!

Although this book is a just a little bit dated, it's a great guide for anyone looking to build an outdoor kitchen, barbeque, and or fireplace. It's packed with lots of ideas and plans that anyone with a bit of vision could use or adapt to their own needs. I already built my fireplace and pizza oven, but this book could be a huge inspiration and help for those who are planning a 'build' and want some 'know how'. I highly recommend it! We absolutely love having friends and family over for pizza while sitting around the fire! Rick M.

Beehives, Barbecues, Fireplaces, and More

This book is a must have! I was on a waiting list for months. I was so determined to get this book that I even called the publisher, who just happened to be in my state. I was told that the book was currently not being printed, but that if I really wanted a copy I should go to Home Depot. I went to Home Depot and found the book. Man am I glad I went through the trouble! This book is full of beautiful ideas! Every project is thoroughly detailed, down to the material list. If you've ever dreamed of having an outdoor fireplace then this book is for you.!

Excellent guide for the Do-It-Yourselfer!

I was on the waiting list for this book for months before it was published and cannot say that I was let down at all. The book has many pages of detailed pictures for outdoor beehive fireplaces, outdoor traditional fireplaces, barbeques and fire pits. The author also provides full and complete design plans that can be used to obtain building permits. It reviews the construction process and the masonry diagrams in laman's terms so they can be easily followed. Each project also has step by step instructions.I have not come across another book that is as comprehensive as this for building outdoor entertaining structures. I would highly recommend this book to anyone!
