As the snow melts and Northern Michigan blooms, it’s time to party outside. At Fireside Hearth & Leisure of Cheboygan, we think that your backyard should be more than just a plot of grass; it should be a destination. Whether you’re firing up the grill for the season’s first BBQ, gathering around a fire pit with friends, or building a unique outdoor kitchen, now is the time to get started.

Let’s dive into how you can turn your outdoor space into a warm, welcoming extension of your home.

Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Upgrade

Spring and early summer are perfect times to plan and install an outdoor living space. The days are longer, the weather is nicer, and your friends and family want to spend time outside. By investing in your backyard now, you’ll be able to enjoy every weekend from Memorial Day to the fall color shift.

Here in Cheboygan, we know that the outdoor season is golden but short. Make it count with upgrades that elevate how you cook, relax, and entertain.

Fire Pits: The Heart of Every Michigan Backyard

There is something special about gathering around a fire. The glow, the warmth, the way conversation lingers—fire pits create a mood that is difficult to match.

Fireside Hearth & Leisure has a diverse choice of fire pit alternatives, from modern gas-burning types to traditional wood-burning designs. Do you prefer something permanent and stone-built? We can help you create the ideal centerpiece for your backyard.

Fire pit tip: Consider placing your fire pit in a circular seating area using Adirondack chairs or a built-in bench—it’s both practical and picture-perfect.

Grills That Go Beyond Burgers

It’s not just about burgers and brats anymore; today’s grills are culinary powerhouses. Whether you’re a casual weeknight griller or a weekend pitmaster, the right grill makes all the difference.

Our selection includes premium gas, charcoal, pellet, and hybrid grills that offer flexibility and flavor. Some of our customer favorites include brands like Napoleon, Twin Eagle, and Delta Heat, all built to perform and last through Michigan’s seasons.

Want to take it to the next level? We also carry built-in models perfect for custom outdoor kitchens.

Outdoor Kitchens: Bring the Indoors Out

Consider options beyond the freestanding grill. An outdoor kitchen provides everything you need to cook, host, and clean up without missing a beat, including prep area, refrigeration, storage, sinks, and side burners.

We proudly offer customizable outdoor kitchen setups from Challenger Designs and Stoll Industries, ideal for straight layouts, L-shapes, or U-shaped configurations. Whether you’re entertaining a couple of neighbors or hosting a backyard wedding, an outdoor kitchen turns your yard into an entertainer’s paradise.

Pro tip: Add bar seating to your kitchen design so guests can mingle while you cook.

Don’t overlook the final details that transform your space into a home. Durable, stylish outdoor furniture, patio heaters, and weather-resistant rugs all add comfort and personality to your space. We’ll help you select pieces that fit your style—and Michigan’s unpredictable weather.

Are you looking for a four-season option? Consider adding a covered pergola or pavilion to extend your entertaining season well into fall.
