This Rock Solid guys show you how to assemble a Stone Age outdoor fireplace kit in this video:

Shumok Masonry sells patio fireplace kits that are relatively easy to install and are value-priced. The components are packaged separately in clearly labeled boxes and crates. To complement your outdoor decor, you just add your choice of stone or brick.

Sturgis Materials sells outdoor fireplace kits from which you can build a complete working fireplace. Their fireplaces are made from concrete blocks and slabs with 24, 36 or 48 inch firebox openings. They also sell pizza oven kits and round- and square-shaped fire pit kits.

Blue Rooster sells non-rusting cast aluminum chimineas as well as cast iron chimineas that are more secure (less likely to be removed) due to their sheer weight. The cast aluminum models are designed to be wood-burning, but if your prefer you can purchase a propane or natural gas conversion kit with high quality ceramic logs, although propane and natural gas are not recommended for outdoor cooking. Blue Rooster’s Casita Grill Cast Iron Chiminea is a great choice if you are interested in grilling as it has grates for grilling and baking.
