If you are thinking about purchasing an outdoor fireplace there are many things you must consider.  There are two types of outdoor fireplaces, built in and portable.  A built in fireplace requires mason work and personalization.  They include a firebox and chimney that are built wherever you prefer.  They are commonly constructed from brick or sandstone.  Some masonry fireplaces even include pumice, stone, and marble to enhance its look.  These outdoor fixtures must be water proof and built to withstand the elements.  A built in outdoor fireplace can be installed by a laborer or you can choose to install it yourself.  Building a fireplace can be difficult work for someone who has no masonry experience.  Kits are available to help you with installation. 

A portable fireplace is typically referred to as a chimena.  They come in many styles and shapes and are manufactured by different companies.  They stand on small legs and have a smoke vent on top.  A small hinged door is on the front so that you can start a fire and close it to contain heat.  Chimenas are started very quickly using news paper and wood.  They also produce extraordinary amounts of heat because large amouts of air is drawn in and the fire contained.  Chimenas are often made of cast iron or aluminum.

Another type of outdoor fireplace that can be purchased is a smaller fire pit.  These small bowl-like fixtures are portable and very convenient for smaller yards.  Like Chimenas fire pits are constructed most commonly out of iron or aluminum but they are much smaller.  The main part of the fire pit is the its bowl shaped base, which is held of the ground by legs.  The burning material is placed on the base and when started on fire a small screen that is provided is placed on top.  This is much like having an open camp fire in a contained space.  Fire pits can be found at many retail stores and range in price.  However, they are the lowest priced outdoor fireplace.
