Abstract
An outdoor fireplace has an extendible handle that is extendible between two positions so that the fireplace may be easily moved. The handle includes first and second handle members that telescopingly engage each other and which are maintained at an angle with respect to the ground by way of their attachment to the firebowl member of the fireplace. In one position, the handle members are maintained in a collapsed position such that the handle does not extend too far from the firebowl member and serve as an impediment to movement around the fireplace. In the other, extended position, the handle members are extend within each other and the gripping portion of the handle is moved significantly away from the firebowl so that the fireplace may be easily moved without the user being close to the fireplace.
