As the weather gets warmer, life naturally moves outdoors. The terrace becomes the heart of summer — a place for cooking, hosting guests and spending long evenings together. But Estonian summers are unpredictable: it may be 26°C during the day, yet chilly enough in the evening to need a blanket.
That is exactly why high-quality outdoor living solutions are becoming increasingly popular — grills, pizza ovens and outdoor fireplaces that provide warmth, flavour and atmosphere.
This naturally raises the question: which grill, pizza oven or outdoor fireplace should you choose?
Kodukolle offers high-quality summer products designed to last for years, whether you are looking for quick weekday grilling or an authentic wood-fired pizza experience.
Pizza oven – more than just a trend
One of the most popular summer products in recent years has been the pizza oven — and for good reason. A quality pizza oven reaches very high temperatures and allows you to prepare authentic Italian-style pizza in just minutes. In addition to pizza, you can also cook meat, fish, vegetables, focaccia and even desserts.
Kodukolle offers pizza ovens from the Italian premium brand Fontana Forni, combining professional performance with elegant design.
Which grill should You choose?
One of the most common questions is whether to choose a gas grill or a charcoal grill. The right choice depends mainly on how and how often the grill will be used.
A gas grill is ideal for someone who values speed, convenience and everyday use. It heats up quickly and allows precise temperature control.
Charcoal and wood-fired grills, however, provide something gas cannot fully replace — the authentic smoky flavour and the experience of live fire.
Kodukolle offers a wide range of quality grilling solutions for both traditional barbecue enthusiasts and those looking to create a complete outdoor kitchen. A good grill is not just a seasonal product — it is an investment in summer evenings you will truly enjoy.
Outdoor fireplace – the centrepiece of summer evenings
While grills and pizza ovens are mainly about cooking, an outdoor fireplace creates a completely different atmosphere on the terrace.
An outdoor fireplace provides:
- warmth and comfort on cooler evenings;
- the ambience of live fire;
- a striking design element;
- the opportunity to spend more time outdoors even during spring and autumn.
More and more people want their terrace or garden to feel like a true outdoor living room. This is where a high-quality outdoor fireplace becomes essential.
Kodukolle offers solutions ranging from modern minimalist styles to more classic models. There are also practical 2-in-1 solutions that combine an outdoor fireplace and grill in one unit. For example, the Color Hestia 300 fireplace grill allows you to enjoy live fire while cooking at the same time. It is perfectly suited for Estonian summers, where people want to spend time outdoors even on cooler evenings.
An outdoor kitchen is no longer a luxury
More and more people are intentionally creating terrace and outdoor kitchen areas where they can cook and spend time throughout the summer. A quality grill or pizza oven is no longer simply a seasonal product — it becomes part of the home.
The difference becomes clear in:
- materials;
- heat retention;
- ease of use;
- durability in the Estonian climate.
A cheap grill may rust after just a few seasons, while a quality solution will last for years.
What should You consider before buying?
Before making a decision, consider:
- How often will you use the product?
- Do you prefer convenience or an authentic fire experience?
- How important are design and compatibility with your terrace?
The right solution is not always the biggest or the most expensive one — it is the one you will actually use.
