How do I build an outdoor fireplace

Hmmmm, fireplace or fire pit? An outdoor fireplace can be expensive if you hire someone out to do the work (Brick and mortar). There are less expensive ways if your box store has them premade (steel). Fire pits are a lot less expensive using landscape concrete blocks. also, if you get tired of where the fire pit is you can disassemble and move.

Could be cheaper to buy a fire pit from a big box store.

Sorry I didn't finish that. It could be cheaper to buy a fire pit already made then building a fireplace. That entails a lot of work.
