The Outdoor GreatRoom

Upgrade the Way You Relax & Entertain Outdoors 

In today’s home design landscape, the backyard is no longer just a patch of grass — it’s an extension of the home, a space where families gather, friends reconnect, and memories are made.  

At the center of this movement is The Outdoor GreatRoom Company, a pioneer in transforming outdoor spaces into stunning, functional living areas. With a passion for craftsmanship and innovation, the company has helped shape what it means to live and entertain outdoors. 

Trailblazers in the Outdoor Furniture Market 

Founded in Minnesota in the early 2000s by Dan Shimek — one of the original minds behind Heat-N-Glo indoor fireplaces — The Outdoor GreatRoom was the first to bring gas fire pits to the outdoor furniture market.  

Today, the brand offers a wide range of premium fire pits and accessories, burners, outdoor fireplaces, patio furniture, and outdoor kitchen components. The Outdoor GreatRoom remains a respected name in the hearth and patio industry, known for American-made quality and design-forward thinking. 

Products Lines to Transform Your Space  

Everything from the Outdoor GreatRoom Company is high-quality, stylish, and user-friendly. Whether you're looking to create a cozy gathering space with a fire feature, build a full outdoor kitchen, or add comfort to your outdoor space with patio furniture, there’s a perfect solution for your project.  

Fire Pit Tables  

At the core of The Outdoor GreatRoom’s lineup is their expansive collection of fire pit tables — a signature category that has become a customer favorite. They're available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and finishes to suit any outdoor decor, from rustic and natural to sleek and modern.  

Collections like the Cove, Kenwood, Brooks, and Montego showcase a range of styles, including concrete, woodgrain, marine-grade aluminum, and tempered glass. Many of these fire pit tables come in chat-height, dining-height, and bar-height models, making them versatile enough for lounging, dining, and entertaining. With the ability to use natural gas or propane, The Outdoor GreatRoom fire pits are designed to work with virtually any outdoor setup.  

Crystal Fire® Plus Burners 

What sets OGC fire features apart is their proprietary Crystal Fire® Plus burner technology. Crafted from stainless steel and equipped with advanced burner ports, these UL-listed burners are designed for both performance and longevity. They deliver strong, beautiful flames that stay consistent — even in windy conditions — and can produce up to 80,000 BTUs of heat, depending on the model. 

These burners are used across nearly every fire pit table and fire bowl in the collection, giving customers the confidence of a tested, safe, and high-performing fire feature. 

Outdoor Fireplaces  

For those looking to make a bold architectural statement, The Outdoor GreatRoom Company also offers ready-to-finish outdoor fireplaces. These customizable units can be finished with stone, brick, stucco, or tile to match the style of your home or patio. Available in various sizes and configurations, they offer an elegant and functional way to create an outdoor focal point with a built-in look. 

These fireplaces are designed for easy installation and come with compatible Crystal Fire® Plus burners, giving customers the freedom to personalize their fireplace while still benefiting from The Outdoor GreatRoom’s signature flame performance. 

Outdoor Kitchens & Grills 

The Outdoor GreatRoom extends beyond fire features with modular outdoor kitchen islands and built-in grill bases. Each product is made with premium weather-resistant materials, like aluminum framing, non-combustible surfaces, and pre-cut openings for grills, appliances, and storage.  

Whether you’re creating a compact cooking station or full-service backyard kitchen, these islands are made to simplify installation without compromising durability or design.
