I recently signed a contract on this house. I will be closing in about 2 weeks. I was at the house yesterday and I noticed that the outdoor fireplace doesn't have any chimney at all. All smoke/fumes would billow out of the front of the fireplace (which is under a covered porch).
The opening in the bottom is the fireplace, and the top opening is for a TV. The fireplace is plumbed for gas logs. I might request the builder to install a chimney, but before I do I wanted to know if this is common. I'm sure this would be a lot of work and the builder may resist.

If it is gas log only and outdoors there is no need for a chimney.

It is for gas fires only. I wouldn't start putting wood in there! As long as it is a gas fire, you will be fine.
ETA: Especially with a TV right there. Wood fires would probably get too hot for electronics? |

LP or natural gas fireplaces inside are Non-vented. I don't think an outside setup needs a chimney. Just don't throw any wood in there!
ETA beautiful home strat! Wood and stone are my favorite building materials. They never go out of style. |
