AllModern Cold Rolled Steel Chiminea
A chiminea can add warmth and a roaring fire to your outdoor space or patio. Think about your space and how you plan to use it when you shop for a chiminea. For example, if you plan to grill, choose a model with a grill grate and the ability to move logs around easily. Also, make sure that you are able to relax near the fire, and not breathing in smoke. In addition to assessing your climate and whether you need to store the chiminea during freezing temperatures, you should choose the material you would like the chiminea made from. Clay models are more traditional and cheaper, but they can break or shatter when frozen. Steel chimineas are more durable however they may rust if properly coated with a weatherproof coating. Cast iron is heavy and requires more maintenance but it will last for many years, and develop an attractive patina over time. Cast aluminum is the most expensive choice however it is extremely durable and designed to disperse heat well.

A chiminea is the best choice for people who live in areas with cooler evenings and don't mind opening the door while tending to the fire.

Bali Outdoors Chiminea
Chimineas have chimneys that direct smoke and ash away unlike fire pits. These portable heat sources for outdoor use can be constructed from steel, clay, or cast iron in a wide range of designs. Some are modernized versions of traditional clay chimineas, while others are designed with an aged and rustic appearance which develops a gorgeous patina over time. Most chimineas feature an open fire pit and chimney to direct smoke up and a door or screen to shield pets and other people from falling embers. Some chimineas also include extra features, like trays for log storage or 360-degree screens that allow users to view the flames from a variety of angles.
Think about the size of the space as well as the decor and the dimensions of any other furniture you intend to put in the chiminea. The larger chimineas generate more heat but are also heavier and less mobile. Since they have tall chimneys and are often large, here the buyer should be sure that their chimineas do not come in contact with flammable items, such as an awning or the deck floor.
When you are looking for a new chiminea, it is important to take into consideration how much maintenance it will need. Chimines can generally be cleaned using a garden hose, but some models require a professional cleaning service. Others need to be repainted or refinished periodically, depending on the materials and style of your chiminea. If your model has chimneys, it is recommended to cover it with a cap in order to stop rain from getting into the chimney and corroding its interior.
