An Outdoor Chiminea Fireplace Can Add Warmth and Comfort to Your Backyard

A chiminea can add a dramatic fire feature to your backyard. Unlike open fire pits, they are constructed from durable materials and often come with a variety of finishes that are compatible with patio furniture.

Chimineas are designed in a way that focuses smoke upwards and away from the guests. They also offer superior heating over fire pits in outdoor areas that have limited air access.

Decorative

Chimineas, unlike other fireplaces and fire pits, have chimneys that draw smoke and heat upwards instead of outwards. The result is a dramatic display, and a warm and comfortable ambience. You can choose from clay or terracotta models, versions made of metal, or wood-burning models. Often, aesthetics and the dimensions of your space are the main factors.

Chimineas are bigger and more rustic than fire pits. They are great for areas that are designated, where they can be used as a living space or to heat food in the internal grates.

They're also beautiful additions to your landscape, particularly when paired with evergreens and flowering plants that provide color and contrast to the surrounding. For instance, you could use a terracotta chiminea with boxwood or holly, and you can also pair the chiminea made of clay with rosemary or lavender.

It's recommended to keep it away from anything flammable and make sure that the wind is able to take the smoke away. Consult your local fire department to figure the most suitable location.

A chiminea must be set on an even, solid surface that is at least 10 feet from the wall closest to it. It should also be enough from furniture and other objects that may be damaged by smoke or heat. A chiminea should not be placed too close to a structure like a house or a garden shed, either, as the smoke and flames can easily cause damage to these structures.

It is essential to prepare your big chiminea for the season. This is accomplished by constructing small fires and then increasing the heat. After three to four small fires, you can begin cooking your chiminea's interior grate.

Others come with a built-in grill that provides a surface to cook casseroles and other meals directly inside the chiminea.

The high temperatures produced at the top of the stack are ideal to cook food without having to worry about burning or overcooking the food items.

It's also important to know that a chiminea should be set on a fire-proof surface, such as a concrete or brick patio, and should not be placed on eaves, a patio roof or other structures that are overhead in areas where they could catch on fire or be damaged by the abrupt change in temperature from the open flame.

In terms of heating Chimineas aren't as efficient as fire pits. Fire pits emit heat in a wide radius, so anyone sitting near it will benefit from its warmth. However, a chiminea's design channels the heat towards the opening, and only those who are closest to it will feel. Chimines take longer to heat up compared to the fire pit.
