Stores like Walmart and K-mart have an outdoor firepit that is pretty cool for an inexpensive price.

get a bunch of rocks or old bricks, make a circle about 12″ high, and whatever diameter you prefer.

Go to the home depot to grab one of those chiminea (sp?) or whatever they’re called. They’re terra-cota fire places that you can move around (when cold) and burn regular wood in. Be careful with them though…you should have a cover for it (so rain doesn’t fill up the bottom with all of its ash), you should burn the right kind of wood (a Duraflame log will crack it because it burns too hot), and in general, just care for them properly. My buddies have them, and they’re great. One did nothing special other than what was recommended and it’s great. Another went ahead and burned all kinds of crap in it drunk and it cracked on him.
You could always just grab a bunch of bricks and dig a hole to make a fire pit.

You have some really good choices in your answers. If you do it yourself bricks, make sure to use mortar between the bricks or they may be knocked down by a running child or dog while you have the fire going. Also get a heavy duty mesh screen to put on the top of the fireplace to keep sparks from flying out and setting your home on fire. Have fun
Personally, I like the washing machine idea the best as it is so original.
