I’m going to be inspecting a house with an outdoor fireplace. It suppose to be -20C…so -4F. It is safe to operate a outdoor fireplace at that temperature? Looks like it has a glass front.
Do you routinely operate fireplaces, interior or exterior?
Is it a wood burning fireplace, a wood burning insert fireplace, sealed gas logs or some other type?

Its gas fireplace. Looks like the front glass is a solid piece
I’m not thinking I would be messing with that…

Exterior fireplace was not tested as it’s beyond the scope of this inspection. Recommneded that client read and follow manufacturer operating instructions before using this appliance.

Welcome back to our forum, Tyson!..enjoy participating. 
Yep, I would disclaim it considering the circumstances. It’s not attached to the house either so… Nope…

Also, the same here.
Does your state standard of practice say you shall not light any fires!
How about your insurance provider?!
I recommend you keep your matches in your pocket!
