Chimineas add ambiance and heat to outdoor spaces, and some even include convenient safety features and convenience. Look for models with wide bases and doors which will prevent logs or embers from falling on flammable items or burning the deck floor.

Also, remember that chimineas are extremely hot and should be kept away from children.

A chiminea can add warmth and a roaring fire to your outdoor space or patio. Think about your space and how you intend to use it when looking for the perfect chiminea. For instance, if intend to grill, pick a model with an grill grate as well as the ability to move logs around easily. You should also ensure that you are able to relax near the fire, and not breathing in smoke. In addition to assessing your climate and whether you require storing the chiminea during freezing temperatures, you must choose the material you would like the chiminea made out of. Clay models are more traditional and cheaper but they are also more susceptible to break or shatter when frozen. Chimineas made from steel can rust if not properly coated with weatherproof finish. Cast iron is heavy and requires a lot of maintenance but can last for many years, and develop a cool patina over time. Cast aluminum is the most expensive option but it's also robust and designed to disperse heat well.

If you're looking for a large wood-burning chiminea, with an open-plan design, the AllModern Barrow Steel Chiminea is a good choice. Its rusty finish adds an elegant touch to your yard. Its chimney ideally channels smoke upwards, which can help keep the fire from blowing up into your face or causing you to breathe in smoky air. This model, as with the majority of metal models, is not suitable for areas that experience high winds.

Another alternative is a gas-powered chiminea. In contrast to a wood-burning model these do not require burning logs. They utilize propane chiminea tanks, or they can be connected to natural gas lines already in place. The most effective model we tested is the Cuisinart Propane Chiminea, that lets you adjust the flame settings for the most comfortable glow and dancing flames.

A chiminea is best for people who live in areas with cooler evenings and don't mind opening the door while tending to the fire. It should be set in a safe spot away from any flammable objects like a fence or deck railings, and should be properly anchored to the ground to stop it from tumbling over.

Chimineas have chimneys that channel ash and smoke away, unlike fire pits. These portable outdoor heaters come in clay, cast iron steel, as well as a variety of other materials. Some are modernized versions of traditional clay chimineas whereas others are designed with a rustic and weathered look that develops a beautiful patina as time passes. The most popular chimineas feature a fire bowl at the base, a chimney to direct smoke upward and a screen or door to protect people and pets from falling embers. Certain chimineas come with additional features, like trays for log storage or 360-degree screens that allow people to see the flames from multiple angles.

Take into consideration the size of the space, the decor, and the dimensions of any other furniture you intend to use with the chiminea. The larger chimineas will generate more heat but are also heavier and less portable. Furthermore, since they generally have tall chimneys, buyers must ensure that their chiminea isn't in contact with objects that ignite such as an awning or the floor of a deck.

Another aspect to consider when shopping for Chiminesas is how much maintenance and upkeep it'll need. Some models must be cleaned by a professional while others can be cleaned using the garden hose. Others need to be repainted or refinished frequently, based on the material and style of the Chiminea. Additionally, if your chosen model has chimneys, they must be protected with a cap to stop rain from seeping into and corroding the interior of the chimney.
