Outside Wood Burners: A Celebration of Nature and Warmth
NZ-Made Onflame Outdoor Fireplaces: Celebrate the Outdoors in Style
Nothing quite compares to the glow, warmth and atmosphere of a crackling outdoor fire. Whether you’re gathered under the stars, hosting mates for a backyard feast, or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home, a fire has a way of drawing people together.
The NZ-made Onflame range of outdoor fireplaces takes that age-old tradition and brings it firmly into the modern Kiwi backyard — combining sleek design with rugged durability and multi-use cooking performance. Every model is designed and handcrafted right here in New Zealand from locally sourced materials, built to handle our coastal air, cool nights, and love of outdoor living.
Picture this: a stylish Onflame 1200 fireplace with a 1.5 m flue system, roaring away while you grill steaks on the cast iron plate, sear sausages over the embers, or slide in a wood-fired pizza. This is outdoor living — Kiwi-style.
Why Outdoor Wood Fires Just Hit Different
Outdoor fires have been part of our way of life for centuries. The Onflame range brings that timeless magic into your own backyard.
Community Building
Fires bring people together. Gather friends and whānau, swap stories, share laughs, and create memories that last far beyond the embers.
Warmth That Keeps Everyone Outside
Even when the air cools, a real wood fire keeps the conversation going. There’s nothing like staying toasty outdoors on a crisp Canterbury night.
Cook Over Real Flames
With integrated pizza ovens and cast iron BBQ plates, Onflame fireplaces aren’t just for ambience — they’re full-blown cooking stations. From flame-seared veges to bubbling pizzas, the menu is up to you.
Natural Ambience
The flicker, the crackle, the scent of wood smoke — it all creates an atmosphere no patio heater could ever match.
A Connection to Nature
In a fast-paced world, sitting around a fire is grounding. It reminds us to slow down, breathe, and just be present.
Safety Tips for Outdoor Fires
As inviting as they are, fires need respect. Keep it safe and simple:
Choose a safe location — away from overhanging trees, fences or structures.
Use proper equipment — quality fire pit or an enclosed fireplace like an Onflame model designed for NZ conditions.
Burn only dry seasoned wood — never rubbish or treated timber.
Stay present — never leave the fire unattended.
Extinguish completely — douse with water and check the ashes are cool before you walk away.
How to Elevate Your Fire Nights
Create a comfy zone with outdoor furniture, blankets and cushions
Add soft lighting with string lights or lanterns for extra mood and visibility
Plan fun — music, storytelling or games keep the vibe aliveStock up on fire snacks — marshmallows, campfire pizzas, or BBQ treats on the Onflame grill
