Move It Outside Pt. 2: Outdoor Fireplace and Lights DIY pro Jay Baker helps outfit a home for outdoor entertaining. Project number two is the installation of an outdoor fireplace. From "Move It Outside" episode DMIO-102

The completed outdoor fireplace

In this installment of Move It Outside, homeowners Jennifer and Kurt Taser have decided to install a modular, prefabricated, propane-powered fireplace on the patio surrounding their pool.

This strong focal point invites guests to pull up a chair and warm up after a dip in the pool or swim in the lake.

With another set of projects down, Jennifer and Kurt can enjoy good food and great company in the warm light of their new fireplace. And they're a step closer to hosting the family reunion that was part of the impetus for this outdoor renovation.
