The past three years, we have actually made it a mission each year to destruct the rock pile fireplaces we come across, clean them out by removing the ash and packing out the garbage, and then rebuild them.  The one "unatural" thing we do is to find a large mantle rock that takes three or four of us to carry and then build the pit around it.

Good Lord!  It would take a pound of candy for me to even attempt something like that.  Where do you guys get all the energy? ;D

I'll take the dark.
