<DIV dir=ltr>I'm confused. You "drew the line" at pizza oven add-on? That makes
as much sense to me as "I drew the line at 4 garage bays."

<DIV>This group has some accomplished DIY folks so I thought it worth a try
-</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyone have experience building an outdoor fireplace?</DIV>
<DIV>Doing some work in the backyard to appease the wife since she acquiesced
on my MEGASHOP and my suggested fire ring has blossomed into something
more!</DIV>
<DIV>I drew the line at the pizza oven add on.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have done a little looking and some of the less expensive kits look a
little slapdash - lots of looks but not sure how they will hold up.</DIV>
<DIV>For instance I don't think a steel firebox is going to last.</DIV>
<DIV>I have built brick mail boxes, walls and foundations but I realize a nice
fireplace is another thing entirely.</DIV>
<DIV>Firerock makes a kit that is just the firebox & chimney and the rest
is up to you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any
thoughts?</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
