Image
  Enhance your summer experience with an outdoor Round Grove fireplace. It's May, and summer is on the way. If you're looking for a statement piece to enhance your patio experience, we have some inspiration for you. With some of the best outdoor fireplaces on the market, Round Grove has quality products that will not only make your yard space look aesthetically pleasing, but also make you feel warm and comfortable for years!  So, what are the advantages of having an outdoor fireplace?  First of all, outdoor fireplaces are much easier to maintain than people think. Keep it clear of debris, remove ashes regularly, professionally clean it at least once a year, and cover the firebox when the fireplace isn't in use. It's that simple.  Another great reason to have an outdoor fireplace is obvious: you'll never have to be cold again! Even our smaller fireplace models, like our mini fireplace, can provide big heat. You may think you won't use it in the summer, but those ...

STAX: Modular Brick Oven System

Image
We love providing brick ovens to our customers, no matter the location that they want their unit placed. However, because of issues with land shape and object clearance problems, we can provide a modular build that can be brought in to your living space using smaller equipment so that nothing can stand in your way of getting your own brick oven from Round Grove Products !  The STAX modular system we use to install your brick oven begins with you deciding if you want simply a fireplace, a brick oven or a combo unit in your living space. After you make this decision, it is determined what pieces are needed at the worksite as, depending on the model and build selection, some units have more or fewer modules than other units do. These pieces are then brought to your home to install as we would a normal single piece brick oven, but with smaller stand-behind equipment instead of our normal larger equipment. Although this process will take a little more time than a normal Round Grove bric...

Brick Ovens: How do I make up my mind?

Image
There are a lot of things to consider when you are trying to decide what style of brick oven is right for you. You may be asking yourself ‘how much will I use it’? ‘Will I burn everything I make’? ‘Will cooking in a brick oven help me win MasterChef’? Unfortunately, we don’t have all of the answers for questions like that. However, we can give you tips for making the decision about what type of brick oven you should get.  The first most obvious decision that comes when you are looking into brick ovens is deciding whether you want just simply a brick oven or a brick oven-fireplace combo . They may not sound very different, but this step is very important in making sure you get what you want. The main factor in this decision is use of the oven. Are you going to be using this brick strictly for cooking and then heading back inside to enjoy your meal? You may want just a brick oven then. What about if you plan on entertaining guests outside all night long after eating a wood-fired mea...

Small outdoor kitchen with oven and grill Michael wanted to have an outdoor kitchen in his backyard. His wife, Jean, agreed and they set to planning. They got excited over finding the perfect outdoor oven , the right style for seating, they even looked meticulously for flora that would accentuate the stone they picked out. The day came when everything was finished and it was time for the inaugural use of the kitchen. Michael lit the grill and Jean started a fire in their oven so the kids could make wood-fired pizzas. Before long, Michael was coughing and his eyes were streaming with tears from the smoke. The kids were complaining that it was too hot to hang around because the sun was beating down on them. Jean was getting frustrated because the kids kept changing their minds about pizza toppings and she was walking to and from the house constantly, which was quite a hike.
