Outdoor Fireplaces

I'm still not even sure that an outdoor fireplace could be a reality ... but I love the ambiance of an outdoor fireplace, particularly when there isn't a fireplace inside. Entertaining around the fire, or simply enjoying it yourself is such a luxury - one that I thought I'd have to have custom designed and built. But then ... I found this: 


Pre-cast stone, in that simple, almost French look that I really want for the courtyard. I'm sure this comes in pieces, that are assembled by a contractor. There are add-on options, like this one: 

with an extension on the chimney, giving it even more of a French vibe, don't you think?

Would love, love an outdoor fireplace however Bylaw restrictions in our area prohibit them (and any type of open flame.)
Thanks Artie for sharing these gorgeous images, as one can always dream about having one.
