How to build an outdoor fireplace

I stumbled upon this how-to-video and thought I might share.
Has anyone tried and successfully installed a diy outdoor fireplace?

Or do you think that it's easier to just do something like this:

I built my own, was tired of smoke blowing in everyones face on a windy night. I used a wood fireplace insert, mixed bricks from craigslist and bricked around it. I would use firebrick on my next one bc I dont know how long that insert will last outdoors but its been a year and no rust. Here are some pics to get a idea of what you can do.

there is no question which one is easier.. however if you want to make the patio fitpit nice looking, maybe get the curved patio pavers and build a circular wall and drop the firepit inside the pavers..

I have seen this blogging site which states on how to create an in-ground outdoor fire pit. You can check this one, it may help you.
