Please help me find a clever use for recycling these bricks.

What can I use these storage heater bricks for?
I have an amount of storage heater bricks, around 80ish...
I could skip them, but I want to be ingenious and recycle them somehow.
First I thought raised vegetable beds. Or simple garden edging. Easy but boring.
They'd be great in a greenhouse to keep warm through the night maybe, but I don't (currently) have one and my Father recently dismantled and disposed of his - though I might invest in a small cloche or greenhouse this year so will retain a few bricks to use, but what to do with the rest?
I'm thinking some kind of garden oven? Pizza oven type thing? Although I'm not a huge pizza fan, I do like burny things like BBQs and fires. I have a good sized gravelled 'entertaining' area where I've considered having an oven before and I can access logs free or very cheaply. But I have no clue as to cost or ease of a DIY garden oven build?
I keep Chickens and my Dad suggested using the bricks under their coop, but I don't want to cook my birds as I rather like their eggs.
Or maybe something crazy like under an above ground pool to provide heat!!?
Has anyone used them as a BBQ, or similar, or found a use for storage heater bricks in the past? - other than in a storage heater! These ones are five years old, and still in good condition.
Space isn't really an issue, it's what to do with them.
