It will be 55 outside this evening.
not sure tbh you could always choose a cold evening and arrange it in advance x
Is it still too warm outside to build a fire in the fireplace?

Sometimes if the mood strikes it good. I will crank up the AC, and to make it cold in the house in the middle of summer. So I can just build an romantic fire in the fire place and cuddle up with my wife.
There is no set time of year when you need to have an nice small fire going.

Just put the bin out and it feels cold outside now. Its been a clear sunny day and as dusk approaches there are no clouds so will assume it will be a chilly night. Have your fire and enjoy it, a cheerful fire also lifts your spirits if you are feeling a bit low. If you feel you need to save money because you are having an early fire then have toast for tea - toasted on a long fork in front of the fire with some wonderful cheddar or strawberry jam.

Actually 55 is a perfect temp for using a fireplace. If you are into saving furnace fuel (gas, heating oil, or whatever you heat with) then you want to enjoy your fireplace before you start using the furnace for the winter.
You see when you use a wood fireplace or gas log fireplace it tends to drag air out of the home and cast it out the chimney, this is referred to as your homes “stack effect”. While the air in your home, that your furnace worked hard to heat up, is making a mass exodus out of your chimney, the home starts breathing in through the windows and doors jambs and other weak points in the homes envelope. So essentially when you use the fireplace you are swapping your warm interior air for cold outside air without knowing it. This in turn makes your furnace work harder to heat the inside air. It also is the reason your house feels so cold when you step away from the fireplace heat.
So, If you wait too long and use your fireplace after the weather is colder you will in fact make your heating bills go up.
Here is what I do to enjoy the fireplace as much as I can. In the fall I burn wood in the fireplace occasionally, but when the weather gets cold enough that I start using the furnace, then I plug the fireplace nice and tight with a chimney balloon and use it as a pleasant place to burn candles for the winter. that way i still get flickery ambiance without the energy loss. When Spring comes again and I stop using the furnace, then i know I am ok to use the fireplace to burn wood again.
