1. Extend the warm evenings with an outdoor fireplace

An outdoor fireplace is ideal for Danish summer evenings, where it can still get chilly even after a warm day. Imagine curling up in front of the outdoor fireplace under a blanket and enjoying the bright evenings with a live fire on the patio. The live fire is not only a source of warmth but also a gathering point for family and friends. It’s where good stories are shared and memories are made. If you get hungry, you don’t have to limit yourself to the indoor kitchen. Buy a grill grate and let the outdoor fireplace become out outdoor kitchen under the sky.

2. Gather the whole family around the fire pit

With its captivating flames and versatility, the fire pit is the perfect addition to garden coziness. The fire pit quickly becomes the heart of the garden, where the whole family—both young and old—gathers around the warm fire. Move the fire pit around the garden and onto the patio so the warmth can spread to every corner while you enjoy warm and soft marshmallows roasted over the flames.

But why stop there? Let’s spice up the dessert a bit! Place the warm marshmallow on a cracker, add a piece of chocolate on top, and finish with another cracker. A delicious and simple dessert. Settle in comfortably, let the warmth of the fire embrace you, and enjoy this sweet moment under the sky.

Another way to enjoy your garden is by making twist bread over the fire. All you need is a fire, twist bread dough, sticks for cooking, and good company. A fire can help create the setting for a cozy evening with a good atmosphere. Making twist bread over a fire is not only cozy and unifying for the family, but it’s also a great way to teach children how to build and light a fire. Remember to have a bucket of water nearby and to check the wind direction so the smoke doesn’t bother the neighbors.

Psst… you can spice up the classic twist bread with, for example, a roasted sausage, jam, a pat of butter and cinnamon sugar, or chocolate.
