A kiva fireplace is a great idea for an outdoor fireplace.
Its unique arched firebox door and beehive-like body will definitely catch a lot of attention both from friends and strangers.
This style is originally from the southwest but is now popular all over the country.
Traditionally, it was made with the same adobe material which was used in the construction of the house.
These days though, it comes in different materials and styles that will suit every person's taste and budget.
Many homeowners go for the kiva design in building a fireplace.
They are perfect for cooking and add a great touch to the outdoor landscape and design.
They are also as efficient as any kind of outdoor fireplace.
They contain and maintain the heat while the family warm themselves and enjoy roasting food for dinner.
As they say, it's not really in the fireplace; it's in the kind of fire you can create.
Many people say that the skill in building an upside-down fire is all you need when it comes to using any kind of fireplace.
If you have a wide space outdoor, going for a kiva style that has built-in benches would be ideal.
This way, you will not have to buy other chairs or benches to match your fireplace, neither will you have to move or rearrange them after your family activity.
You can simply sit around your beehive fireplace whenever you like and enjoy it with or without fire.
Installing a kiva fireplace will require a professional.
You can easily get in touch with one even online.
Make sure that you go for a reputable company which specializes in this type of fireplace.
Discuss your plans with them and how you'd like your fireplace to look like to make sure that you are going to get your money's worth.
