A freestanding front-loading fireplace with an elongated body and a vertical chimney, the chimineas (pronounced chee-mi-NEH'yah) are a great option for any outdoor living space. Similar to other patio heaters that burn wood they create a cozy atmosphere that's easy to control.

Safety

A chiminea, also known as a outdoor fireplace is designed to create an open flame for a long period of time. It is constructed of clay or metal and resembles the shape of a vase, with an elongated chimney that focuses smoke. It's a good choice for a garden that has to be heated and also to cook in. Certain models come with a grill on the top that can be used to cook meals over the fire. A chiminea should be set on a surface that is fire-safe, such as a brick, concrete or stone patio. It should be kept at least 30 ft away from homes and other combustible buildings.

Chimineas provide a higher level of safety than fire pits due to the fact that the flames and smoke are contained within the structure. This makes them less vulnerable to injuries and accidents. The size of a fire can be controlled more easily in a chiminea, since air is drawn into the bowl from the front and directed upwards.

This is to prevent the clay from cracking as it is heated. Place it on a fireproof surface and keep it 10 to 20 feet away from fences, walls and trees.

Both chimineas and fire pits can be used to create heat for your home, but it's important to choose the best one for your needs. Think about the aesthetic preferences as well as the maintenance requirements and fuel efficiency of each model to make an informed decision. Consider your lifestyle, for instance, whether you'll be using the heater to entertain guests or just for quiet family nights.

Fuel

A propane chiminea can be used for both heating and cooking. The most popular chiminea is made of clay, but other materials include cast iron and steel. Some models even mix the two types of materials to create a traditional-looking chiminea that also has the benefit of gas-powered heat.

The fuel you select for your chiminea can affect the amount of the time it burns, the temperature and other elements. It is also important to weigh long and short-run costs for fuel against the requirements for installation and maintenance.

It's a familiar substance used in cooking equipment and heaters, so it shouldn't be difficult to find. You won't need to spend much time maintaining a propane stove because it is usually started by turning the switch.

There are some disadvantages when using a chiminea that is powered by propane. It's not as green as ethanol or wood. It is fossil fuel, and is an off-product of refineries for petroleum and natural gas processing. It's not great for the environment and may cost more than wood or ethanol.

You'll also need to consider the smoke production of your chiminea for sale, as well as the local regulations for outdoor burning. Kiln-dried firewood or heat logs are excellent choices for chimineas because they emit very little smoke. They are also safe to use in Smoke Control Areas.

Ventilation

Chimineas are designed with a stack and a bowl that creates a natural draft. The air flows into the front of the bowl and flows upwards through the stack, and exits through the top. This design helps reduce the amount of smoke and ash that is produced and allows you to sit nearer to the flame. Although a chiminea is able to be used indoors, keep it a good distance away from anything that could ignite because sparks will always be floating around.

There are many methods to reduce the amount of smoke generated by your chiminea. Use Duraflame logs in ceramic chimineas that don't emit a lot of smoke.

Both of these tips can allow you to enjoy your chiminea terracotta without worrying about irritating your neighbors or causing damage to your furniture.

Chimineas made of clay are as strong as cast iron or steel models, but they need to be protected from the elements. The best way to do this is to apply a sealer or acrylic coating to the exterior of your chiminea before you begin using it. This will prevent it from cracking and fading due to exposure to sunlight. It's a good idea to reapply this coating after six to eight weeks of usage.

When you are ready to light a fire, you can place your chiminea on the stand that came with it. Do not place the chiminea in an area that could be flammable such as a deck. Also, clear out any debris or combustible materials surrounding it prior to lighting a fire.

If you are a frequent fire starter it is essential to season your Chiminea before you begin using it regularly. The first small fires you make should consist of only few pieces of dry or seasoned hardwood, and some the kindling. These initial small controlled burns can aid in sealing the clay and reduce hair-line cracks that can be problematic.

Maintenance

As with all outdoor furniture, it's important to keep your chiminea in good condition. If you clean it regularly and protect it from the elements with an waterproof cover, it will last longer.

After cleaning your chiminea it's worth giving it a quick rinse with clean water. Then, return the sand or gravel to the bottom of the base.

If you're worried about cracks, it could be worth looking into a cast-iron chiminea. It is much more durable than clay models. However even chimineas made of cast iron are susceptible to rust so you'll still need to ensure that they're dry and aren't placed near combustibles.

Also, when cleaning your chiminea, it's also recommended to purchase a grate for it and a strong weatherproof cover, like this one on Amazon which will stop any damage when you're not making use of it. A grate will be especially beneficial if your chiminea is in a large open-plan living area, with soft furniture near it. It will stop hot ash flying everywhere.

A chiminea can significantly reduce the amount of smoke that is emitted from your outdoor space since it has an enclosed chimney that directs the smoke upward away from the person smoking or enjoying the fire. To lessen the amount of smoke produced, it is best to only use seasoned firewood.
