Chiminea Outdoor Fireplace Review

Unlike a fire pit, chimineas have a chimney stack that directs smoke upwards and away from people. This helps reduce the amount of smoke that is emitted in outdoor areas and creates a space that is more relaxing for your guests.

This chiminea features a heavy-duty cold-rolled steel construction that has an heat-resistant finish. It includes grilling grate, spark screen and a rain cap.

Size

This chiminea that burns wood is an attractive feature to any outdoor living space. It is completely screened on all sides, and includes a heavy duty fire bowl and roof to keeps embers from growing out of control. The top of the fireplace is an open mesh that directs smoke upwards, away from the seating area. The front of the fireplace is opened by a latching stainless steel handle that allows you to add wood without taking off the lid. This is an excellent option for those who would like to sit and enjoy a roaring fire with your family or friends.

The chiminea comes in a variety of sizes, meaning you can pick the one that fits your needs best. The smallest size is 12 27 inches in size and is perfect for smaller areas. It's lightweight and easy to move. However, you'll need to ensure that it is protected from rain and freezing temperatures.

This chiminea may not be as large as some other models, but it's still a beautiful addition to your outdoor space. Its sleek shape and design will fit in with the majority of patio decors. It is made of weathering steel, which is impervious to damage and corrosion. It also comes with an enclosure that protects against rainwater from putting out the flame.

A chiminea can be used either as an open fireplace or a closed fireplace. It also has a narrower chimney that focuses smoke.

In terms of heat, a chiminea won't be the same as a fire pit. It emits heat only in one direction. Fire pits, on the contrary, are open from all sides and can spread heat evenly throughout an entire area.

Design

Unlike the more open design of a fire pit Chimineas have a hooded top that provides 360deg protection for your fire that is roaring. A hood reduces the amount of smoke and ash that is produced, while protecting furniture from damage from heat. Some chimineas have a traditional clay pot-belly shape while others are contemporary and can be a perfect match to any design.

The broad base of a chiminea turns into a narrow chimney, permitting it to draw fresh air into it and create more efficient fires that create more Btu's. In the end, your wood-burning fireplace produces less smoke than a typical outdoor fireplace, while still creating the warm ambiance you enjoy in cool autumnal evenings and crisp summer nights.

A lot of chimineas are constructed of clay or terracotta, although they can be found in other materials, too. No matter what their construction, it is important to ensure that your largest chiminea is placed on a flat surface to avoid the surface from being damaged due to excessive heat or warping. Avoid placing a chiminea beneath an overhang or on a deck which could be covered in snow or rain. The sudden shift in temperature will cause cracks in clay chiminea fire pit, terracotta and even damage metal.

Chimineas are an excellent choice for smaller outdoor spaces that could not accommodate a larger outdoor fireplace with wood burning. They can be placed on porches, patios or even garden courtyards due to their small dimensions. They also make excellent reading areas when placed near lounge chairs or Adirondacks.

Portability

A chiminea's design is often different by manufacturer, but many opt for a traditional look with a broad base that tapers off into the long chimney. Modern chimineas, like this Kelly Clarkson Home model, tend to be more straight and less bulky. The chiminea's wood-burning steel weighs less than many of the other models we reviewed, so it won't require a team to haul it to a different spot on your patio. It also has small handles for carrying along the sides and a handle at the top to help you lift it off the ground when you need to refuel.

Although chimineas are able to burn gas and wood, we recommend only using wood that has been soaked for a few weeks to lessen the amount of smoke it releases when burned. The rounded bottom of this chiminea, which is covered by a 360-degree screened, maximizes the heat and allows people to enjoy a comfortable seat on the deck without getting smoked out. The tall chimney directs smoke upwards, which reduces the possibility of smoke blowing on your neighbors or causing problems with your outdoor space.

Fuel

You can use them to cook and create a cozy environment that is perfect for family gatherings. They are also durable, meaning you can enjoy them for years to be. They can be made from clay or steel and finished with gorgeous details that match your style.

A chiminea has the advantage of being more efficient with fuel than a firepit. They burn charcoal and wood, which produce less smoke than fossil fuels. However, they release pollutants into the air, which could affect the health of humans and contribute to climate change. To mitigate this issue, it is essential to only use wood that is well-seasoned and charcoal.

Chimineas can be quite flammable, especially if they are made from big clay chiminea or other combustible materials. It is important to keep them away from rainy or humid weather to avoid cracking and causing damage. If you are planning to leave a chiminea outdoors in the winter, it's ideal to cover it with a blanket or store it in a garage or shed.

Depending on their design, they may also release sparks and embers, which could cause injuries.
