Chimineas, in contrast to fire pits, have a chimney that directs smoke away from people and up. This reduces smoke in outdoor areas and creates a more relaxing environment for your guests.
This chiminea features a heavy-duty cold-rolled steel construction with a heat-resistant finish. It comes with grilling grates, a spark screen, and a rain cap.
Size
This fireplace with wood burning is a great addition to any outdoor chiminea fireplace space. It is screened from all sides and has an extremely durable fire bowl and roof to keep embers in check. The top of the fireplace has a mesh chimney that guides smoke upwards, keeping it away from your seating area. The front of the fire is opened with the latching handle made of stainless steel that allows you to add wood without having to remove the lid. This is a great option for those who would like to sit and relax in a warm fireplace with your family or with friends.
The chiminea is available in various sizes, so you can choose the one that is most suitable for your needs. The smaller size is 12 27 inches, which is perfect for smaller areas. It is lightweight and portable. However, you'll need to ensure it's protected from freezing and rain temperatures.
While it may not be as large as other models but this chiminea is functional and beautiful to your outdoor living space. Its sleek design and form is perfect for contemporary patio designs. It is made of weathering steel, which is resistant to damage and corrosion. It also has a protective cover to prevent rainwater from extinguishing the flame.

A chiminea can be used either as an open fireplace or a closed fireplace. It also has a shorter chimney which directs smoke. It's perfect for small spaces where you don't want to heat the entire space. It's also less vulnerable to damage than other types of outdoor firepits, like terracotta and metal.
Chimines don't generate the same amount of heat as an open firepit. This is because it only radiates heat in one direction. Fire pits, on the contrary, are open to all sides and are able to distribute heat evenly across a larger area.
Design
Chimineas, unlike the open design of fire pits, offer a hooded cover that offers 360deg of protection for your fire. A hood can cut down on the amount of smoke and ash that is produced, while protecting furniture from damage from heat. Certain chimineas are designed to resemble traditional clay pot-belly shapes, while others have modern styles to complement any design.
The broad base of the chiminea swells to narrow chimney. This allows it to draw fresh air and generate more Btu-producing fires. A fireplace that burns wood will emit less smoke, but provide the cozy atmosphere you enjoy in warm evenings in the summer or crisp autumn nights.
The majority of chimineas are constructed from clay or terracotta. Other materials could also be utilized. Whatever their design it is essential to ensure that your chiminea is placed on a level surface to avoid the surface from being damaged due to overheating or warping. Do not place a chiminea under an overhang or on a deck that may be covered by snow or rain. The sudden change in temperature could crack clay, terracotta and rust metal.
Chimineas are a great option for smaller outdoor spaces that might not accommodate a full-sized outdoor fireplace that is wood-burning. They can be positioned on porches, patios, or garden courtyards because of their small dimensions. They also make great reading nooks when placed near Adirondacks or lounge chairs.
Whether you're looking for a simple terracotta or more intricate, hand-painted designs with Spanish details, you'll be able to find the perfect chiminea to fit your outdoor living space. Both are simple to use and can add warmth and ambiance to your outdoor space. Be sure to check your local laws since certain areas are not permitted to install outdoor fireplaces. If you're not allowed to use a fireplace with wood burning you should consider a gas-powered one that uses liquid propane or natural gas to provide you with the same warmth and ease.
Portability
The design of a chiminea varies according to the manufacturer, but many prefer a classic style with a broad base that tapers to the long chimney. Modern chimineas, like this Kelly Clarkson Home model, tend to be straighter and smaller. This chiminea made of wood weighs less than many of the other models we've reviewed, so it won't require a team to haul it to a different location on your patio. It also has small handles for carrying along the sides and an upper handle to lift it off the ground in the event that you need to refill it.
We recommend using only well-seasoned wood, which has been submerged in water for a number of weeks. This will lessen the amount smoke that is released when it is burnt. The rounded bottom of this chiminea, covered by a 360-degree screened increases the heat and lets people enjoy a comfortable seat on the deck without getting smoked out. The tall chimney directs smoke upwards, reducing the chance of smoke blowing onto your neighbors or causing problems for your outdoor space.
Both fire pits and chimineas demand the use of sand or gravel in the base to keep the fire from burning out or emitting excessive smoke, but a chiminea requires a more thorough cleaning of the inside chamber as well. Before lighting the fire, clean up any debris, including sand, and add a few logs and a kindling.
Because a chiminea is designed to create an eye-catching focal point for your patio, it's important to take into consideration the style and colors of the surrounding landscape when selecting a model. Certain models, such as this one by Rediflame, are available in different colors, including black, brown and green, to blend seamlessly into any outdoor decor. If you're concerned about the color fading in sun exposure, this model comes with a powder coat to provide greater durability and resistance to weather. This chiminea also comes with a grilling grate, spark catcher in the chimney, and rain cap to shield it from the elements when not making use of it.
Fuel
Unlike fire pits that emit heat in all directions, chimineas direct it through their chimney. You can use them to cook and they create a warm environment that is perfect for family gatherings. They are also durable, which means you can use them for years to come. They can be made from steel or clay and then decorated with gorgeous details that match your style.
The fuel efficiency of Chimineas is another benefit over a fire pit. They burn charcoal or wood, which produces less smoke than fossil fuels. However, they still release pollutants into the air, which can impact human health and contribute to climate change. To reduce this risk, it is important to only use wood that is well-seasoned and charcoal.
Chimineas are flammable if composed of clay or another materials that are combustible. You should keep them out of wet or humid conditions to avoid cracking and causing damage. If you are planning to leave a chiminea outdoors in winter, it's best chiminea to cover it or store it in a shed or garage. It is also a good idea for you to use a rust-proofing product on the metal prior to storing or moving a Chiminea.
Before using a chiminea make sure to clean a 3-by-4-foot area of your backyard and lay down a layer of pavers or other fireproof material. This will make the hearth in your patio easy to clean and safe, so you can use your chiminea for all through the seasons.

Although Ceramic chimineas look more attractive, they could be dangerous to pets and children. They can be hot to be touched and their backs may be exposed to flames.
