Thanks! I decided not to build in a grill as parts for it rust out and finding replacement parts would be difficult over time as newer models and designs come out and would require modification the the stone work to accommodate the newer dimensions/design..
I haven't ruled out adding a stone grill but want to make sure that once it's built, it will require very little modification to replace parts when necessary.

How did you build a fantastic fireplace but then decided to buy a BBQ instead of building one together with the fireplace? Not criticism as I believe it's fantastic what you did but you missed a fantastic opportunity to make the area more interesting... All the best

Awesome job with the whole set up. I've been looking around to build one on a budget and something like this would be perfect.
As to all these people whining about Mexicans taking all the low paying jobs quit complaining. Nobody is stealing anything, if a white person really wanted to work he would. Just go out to a grapevine field. How many white people do you see picking grapes at 110 degree weather? One and that's the owner of the fields. Lol. Guess what all those Mexicans busting there ass

Actually, sarcasm aside, you're right. There are THOUSANDS of young people with no work experiance who are AMERICANS who would love low level labor jobs but they can't get work because some illegal beat them to it, and will work with no papers, no workman's comp, no nothing. I was one of those kids, while MExican illegals were out making a TAX FREE 10 per hr, I was making 9 BEFORE taxes, getting shit hours, now I own my own business and hire ONLY LEGALS!

Wow, it is sad to see how those illegal Mexicans are stealing the white man's job. A few white folks could easily be doing all that work and we wouldn't have so many illegals steeling American job.

Nice job on the outdoor fireplace. One comment though; the main thing I would've liked to see is the only thing you didn't show, and that is some footage of a fire burning in the fireplace. How come no video of the fireplace in use? Otherwise, great job on the construction!

Nice work and this next response has nothing to do with your video but is in the field of construction.
What is going on with this construction on Beaver Street just south of the train tracks?? They tore up the road, resurfaced it and they are tearing it up with jackhammers? Did they screw up with their calculations or is this a standard thing here in the USA? Once again nice work and keep inspiring others :)

Constructed in July-August, 2008, it includes about 175 cinder blocks, 50 solid blocks, a few hundred 80 year old bricks (which came from my house foundation when it was rebuilt a few months prior) for the stack, Sandstone for the flat surface/shelf areas, river rock for the front vertical faces, black marble for the fireplace floor, and approx. 650 patio bricks with 8 bags of sand. The Patio edge is roughly 13 1/2 feet long each side which calculates to about 185 sq ft..
EDIT (May 2009): Just had to rebuild the underside of the fire box. The black marble floor that was exposed and had no support underneath, became brittle, cracked, and broke away over the last 9 months and had to be rebuilt with a solid block base under the new fire box floor. Not too difficult to fix, but was still an unexpected expense. Less
