Upgrade Your Backyard with the AURORA Outdoor Fireplace

 

If you’re looking to enjoy crisp Minnesota evenings outdoors, the AURORA outdoor fireplace makes a perfect companion. This sleek, reliable gas fireplace transforms patios and screened porches into warm, welcoming spaces. Whether you’re hosting guests or relaxing alone, it adds comfort and elegance to your backyard.

At Midwest Chimney Repair, we proudly install the AURORA fireplace for homeowners across Minnesota. We’re committed to helping you enjoy year-round outdoor living.

Built for Outdoor Living in Minnesota

Designed specifically for outdoor use, the AURORA fireplace performs reliably in all seasons. Its stainless steel components ensure long-lasting durability, while the adjustable millivolt valve lets you control both flame height and BTU output with ease.

In addition, a flame sensor monitors the pilot light and shuts off gas automatically if it goes out—keeping safety a top priority. A stainless steel pull screen and lava rock base enhance the natural, rustic feel.
