Building An Outdoor Fireplace (with tips from a professional mason!)

[@JenWoodhouse1]

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.

[@DevinHeaps]

That concrete made me cry.

[@mikehall4569]

What is the manufacturers name , color and stone type. I want that exact stone ahaha Looks great

[@mikehydroseed1282]

I’d think it would be easily a 100% return on investment.

[@rodolforodriguez7058]

Looks amazing and works as a privacy wall from neighbors! The best thing is that it was accomplished as a family project.

[@CookieZ3353]

Everyone needs a Tony!

[@mindeloman]

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.

[@paulreynolds9003]

The end result is really nice and I know i would be really proud to have this in my garden.

[@Lucas-pv2wn]

Thank you. This video is so well done!! Easy to watch. Perfect amount of detail. Beautiful.

[@Shawn-ho6de]

I am impressed! You and Tony did a great job

[@louisbrou4061]

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 .

[@TheNickelfire]

agreed, 40 years myself. It looks nice and you live in a warm climate, so freezing isn't a big issue for you.

[@russellallen5482]

Agreed

[@Germanosteve]

thank you for sharing, I learned a lot. You have a beautiful family, God bless all..!!

[@brianperniciaro7146]

Wow! Tony did a great job!

[@FlicLuminaries]

Well-done video explaining and showing details of this beautiful project!

[@EthanMiller-h6g]

This outdoor fireplace turned out incredible! Loved hearing all those pro tips, too-definitely some things I wouldn’t have thought of. Also Tony is a great person. If I ever tackle a project like this in Bakersfield, I’ll probably give Fireplaces Of Bakersfield a shout for some extra guidance!

[@tedtolentino4955]

Beautiful fireplace for outdoor enjoyment. Thanks for sharing.

[@ckay2615]

WOW! All I can say is WOW! It is soooooo beautiful!!! I LOVE it!!

Wear respirators and gloves when working with cement dust.

[@Drew-qs2wk]

Correct. You’re at risk for pneumoconiosis, an irreversible, progressive, fatal restrictive lung disease when you inhale fine particles such as cement dust.

[@StallionFernando]

Lol relax it's not that big of a deal unless you do this daily. Have you ever worked a day in your life?

[@jacobyoung1597]

funny behind the scene 😂 I actually enjoyed watching this random clip

[@joyfaith1711]

Tony did FANTASTIC!

[@Anti-FairweatherGolf]

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!

[@newtonslaw7296]

Good job Jen & Co! Done well.

[@mattjones844]

Hey Jen - what did you guys use to white wash the stone? Looks amazing

[@amandalynn2557]

OBSESSED with this!

[@MoneyAhoy]

That is a master-level outdoor fireplace. Very awesome!!

[@davedavis662]

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.

[@JenWoodhouse1]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@jesusleon3611]

Woowww it looks amazing lots of character to the patio 👍👍👍👍👍 nice work TONY

[@mikebuettnersummerbreezela3214]

Great looking fireplace. Everyone should be wearing a mask when cutting those stones.

This is a very well put together video

[@1000grazie]

Still enjoying your hard work? Great project. For the stone veneer you selected from Horizon, what stone and color did you choose? Is that 19th Century in Sedona color? Thanks.

[@JenWoodhouse1]

Yes, we still love the outdoor fireplace and use it nightly when the weather is cooler! We used Horizon Stone 19th Century Canyon Ridge. Hope that helps!

[@redracer5521]

Wow!! Looks amazing!

[@annettegarcia1950]

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!

[@owl1873]

It's Beautiful.

[@rosarioroseanderson2922]

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

[@JenWoodhouse1]

Thanks for watching!

[@gabrielgrigonis9840]

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

[@JenWoodhouse1]

Great idea, thanks!

[@courtneywangner5560]

What does that look like? I googled it but only cooking pieces came up.

[@scottblake89]

the smile from dad at the end xD

[@quantumofconscience6538]

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.

[@mzfranz2935]

Nice inspiration. Thank you for the detail on tips and tricks that make the build easier for cleanup & is also useful to the build.

[@JenWoodhouse1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@johnroddy8756]

Great job 👍 A credit to you all.

[@rogueengineer]

Amazing work! This will be a great space to enjoy with the fam!

[@JenWoodhouse1]

Thanks Jamison! We can't wait till it gets a little cooler so we can hang out here more!

[@mykasiurka]

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.

[@halloween7242]

Great job and superb narration.

[@dannywick275]

What did you use to wrap and secure the string lights through the chimney cap? I'd like to do something similar but I'm concerned about the heat melting the light wire at the top of the chimney. Great work!

[@JenWoodhouse1]

Thanks! We installed this string light hanging kit and it works awesome! amzn.to/4dStklo

[@davidklein4980]

Fantastic 🎉❤

[@marcohinojosa1997]

Great video!!

[@andrewsmith3121]

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.

[@anthonyweibel]

Also, since they filled the center with soil, when it gets wet and freezes, it will push the face out.

[@casperlawrence7066]

Looks great.👍 Everything turned out Great.

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.
