Collapsible portable outdoor fireplace

An outdoor fireplace, comprising:

• a hollow, bottom fire bowl member for supporting and burning a combustible material therein, the bottom bowl member having an interior space defined by an outer edge with a preselected perimeter;
• a screened enclosure supported by and extending upwardly from said bottom bowl member, said screened enclosure defining a fire chamber for containing said combustible material in place within said bottom bowl member, said screened enclosure including a plurality of distinct screen panels assembled together to define said screened enclosure, said screen panels being disengageble from each other in order to disassemble said screened enclosure;
• a hollow, top fire bowl member for covering said screened enclosure, the top fire bowl member having an interior space defined by an outer edge having a perimeter that matches the perimeter of said bottom fire bowl member, said top fire bowl member being supported by said screened enclosure above and spaced away from said bottom fire bowl member;
• and,
• a collapsible undercarriage for supporting said bottom fire bowl member off the ground, said undercarriage being detachable from said bottom fire bowl member, said top and bottom fire bowl members being engageable with each other along their respective perimeters when said screened enclosure is removed such that said top and bottom fire bowl member interior spaces cooperatively define a major interior storage cavity therebetween of sufficient size to store said screen panels of said screened enclosure when disassembled and to store said undercarriage when detached from said bottom fire bowl member.

A collapsible portable outdoor fireplace, comprising:

• a base member for supporting and burning a combustible material therein, the base member having an outer edge;
• a vertical fire screen assembly supported by said base member near said base member outer edge, said fire screen assembly defining a fire chamber for containing said combustible material within said base member, said fire screen assembly including a plurality of individual screen panels that engage each other to define said fire screen assembly and which are easily detachable therefrom into said individual screen panels;
• a cover member for covering said fire screen assembly, the cover member having an outer edge that at least approximates said bottom member outer edge and said cover member being supported by said fire screen assembly;
• an undercarriage for supporting said fireplace on the ground, the undercarriage detachably engaging said base member and being formed from interengaging components, such that when said cover and bottom members are placed together in a manner where their respective outer edges mate together, an interior storage space is formed therebetween with sufficient size to store said fire screen panels and said undercarriage components when detached;
• and,
• at least one engagement member for engaging said top and bottom members together proximate to said outer edges thereof to retain said top and bottom members together.

A portable outdoor fireplace, comprising:

• a base member for supporting and burning combustible material therein, the base member having an outer edge of a predetermined configuration;
• a collapsible fire screen structure supported by said base member, said fire screen structure having a vertical configuration when assembled that forms a fire chamber which contains and substantially encloses said combustible material within said base member, said fire screen structure including a plurality of components that are engageable together to cooperatively define said fire screen structure, and which are capable of being collapsed from said vertical configuration into a smaller configuration;
• a cover member for covering a top portion of said fire screen structure, said cover member also having an outer edge of the same configuration as that of said base member outer edge, said base and cover members being engageable with each other in a manner such that when their respective outer edges mate together, said base and cover members cooperatively define an interior storage cavity therebetween;
• a collapsible undercarriage that supports said base member on the ground, said undercarriage being detachable from said base member;
• and,
• said interior storage cavity being of sufficient size for storing both said collapsed fire screen structure and said undercarriage when detached from said base member.
