How much does a fireplace firebox cost?
Behind an impressive outdoor fireplace should be a sturdy firebox - the inner structure holding the flames, ash, and embers, that creates a warm and inviting ambience and long-lasting memories in your outdoor living area.
Generally, a firebox is constructed from a selection of durable fire-resistant materials that can withstand high temperatures. Examples of this include refractory materials, steel, or fire bricks. The purpose of a firebox is to ensure safety by effectively containing fire and preventing it from spreading to the surrounding area and to make sure the fireplace radiates the heat and draws well.

Some even have wider applications and benefits because of their materials. In this article, we’ll explore the different materials and their benefits before exploring the cost options for each.
