You've built a beautiful life. Now imagine gathering around a finely crafted, custom outdoor fireplace that does more than provide warmth—it becomes the heart of your outdoor living space in Kansas City, Missouri. High Prairie Outdoors specializes in designing custom outdoor fireplaces that blend timeless beauty with unmatched functionality, bringing you Flare Fires, the perfect combination of a classic fireplace and a fully integrated cooking experience.
Unlike standard fireplaces that serve only as a visual and ambient feature, a Flare Fires fireplace transforms your outdoor gatherings into culinary experiences, letting you grill, smoke, bake, and roast—all in one stunning, handcrafted structure. Whether you're hosting a cozy family evening or an elegant social event, this isn’t just a fireplace; it’s an extension of your lifestyle.
The Challenges with Traditional Outdoor Fireplaces
A fireplace is often a significant investment, yet many homeowners only use it for warmth and ambiance. Traditional fireplaces:
- Take up valuable space without adding much functionality
- Require separate, additional outdoor kitchen appliances for cooking
- Often lack customization beyond basic shapes and finishes
- Require careful planning and expert craftsmanship to ensure safety and longevity
If you're going to invest in a custom outdoor fireplace, shouldn’t it do more?

The High Prairie Process
A Simple Process to Designing Your Custom Outdoor Fireplace
Our processes create customized solutions to help you master the art of the experience-driven lifestyle. This is what to expect when you work with us on Design/Build projects or all-inclusive Maintenance:
Get In Touch
Fill out our online form to get started. We'll be in touch to discuss the details of your project to make sure we're a good fit for you. If so, we'll set up your Discovery Meeting and provide a pricing guide to help you know what to expect.
Discovery Meeting
This is a free meeting at our design studio, where you'll select a design package. You'll have an opportunity to meet your designer and share details about your unique design style. We'll learn about your priorities and preferences as we help you discover your many options and possibilities. At this time, we'll collect half of the design fee.
Site Analysis
The Site Analysis breaks down the three pillars of memory making: how you relax, play, and connect. It includes measurements, drainage and grading considerations, architectural and existing element analysis, soil analysis, and a review of design opportunities, all seen through the lens of your three pillars.
Concept Reveal Meeting
At our studio or remotely, this is where you'll review your detailed design and discuss material options with your designer. If there are budget considerations, we can discuss phasing the project as needed.
Final Design Reveal and Proposal Presentation
We'll finalize the materials and order your selections upon your approval. Your Prairie Power Team will create a project plan, complete with milestones and target tasks. As we work through planning and permitting, you'll receive weekly updates, and after you sign, we'll get you on the schedule.
Crafting Your Space
The team will work diligently and according to schedule. You can track our progress and watch your landscape unfold via our project web platform.
Final Walkthrough + Ongoing Maintenance
You'll do a final walkthrough with the designer, and we will accept the final payment. You’ll learn more about our worry-free maintenance program options and we can schedule your Lawncierge project check-ins for proactive attention and monitoring of your new space.
