Chimineas For Sale

Chimineas are a classic outdoor fireplace with the potbellied design. It's a wonderful way to spend time with your loved ones. They are not easy yard art pieces, and proper maintenance will ensure their long life.

Chimineas are safer to operate than open flame fire pits, because their design directs smoke upwards away from the people who are sitting around the flame. They also burn cleaner than fire pits that burn wood.

Clay Chimineas

A clay chimenea creates an uncluttered, warm fire that can be enjoyed in your garden or patio all year. It transforms your outdoor space into an enchanting room where you can gather with family and friends for meals, casual chats, special events, and have fun regardless of the weather.

Clay chimeneas are produced by small factories in Mexico which are fired in kilns at very high temperatures to remove any water and organic matter leaving the raw porous clay material. The clay is then glazed and an impervious seal is added to reduce the risk of cracking.

Chimineas are great for cooking a range of fish, meat, and vegetable dishes that taste delicious when cooked over a bare flame. It is also possible to use them to cook aromatic woods, such as yew or oak, which release amazing natural scents when they burn. Chimineas are also an attractive decorative element that can be added to any outdoor decor.

Metal Chimineas

Metal chimineas last longer than clay models and won't break when accidentally knocked. These versatile fireplaces are constructed of rust-proof, heavy-duty steel. They create an inviting, warm atmosphere that is perfect for outdoor spaces. They are available in a variety of styles, from mid-century to Texas and Star cutouts. They also produce a lot more heat than clay chimineas, so you'll be able to stay outdoors longer and enjoy the flame.

Many have a wide base that tapers into a chimney that has a good draw. Others have beautiful, handcrafted details that will enhance your patio's design. They can be used to burn incense, palo Santo or sage. Each chiminea comes with detailed instructions, a burn-tray, and (if needed) firewood and a kindling. They are also simple to move to create a cozy environment wherever you'd like.

Compact Chimineas

While a full-sized chiminea can easily take over your patio and require lots of space to light, there are smaller options that don't require the same space. For instance this chiminea made of cast iron from Millwood Pines is just 15 inches wide and 28 inches tall, making it the ideal size for a cozy backyard setting. It has a classic pot-bellied design with a chimney that is long and an open mouth that is unscreened in the front. It does not come with grilling grates, nor a spark screen, however it does come with a rain cap, and it sits securely on three legs.

In addition to their tiny dimensions, these chimineas are also relatively easy to maintain bbq and chiminea clean, according to Taylor. You'll still need to regularly remove the ash from your firebox and clean away any cobwebs or dirt. Metal chimineas can also get rusty over time, so it is important to periodically repaint them using high-temperature paint to ensure the best durability.

Chimineas made of clay can be a good alternative for those who don't have a lot of space, but still desire an open fireplace with wood. This chiminea made by Wiosi is a perfect blend of classic charm and traditional clay with a compact, space-saving design. It comes with a stand made of steel that supports the chimney over the firebox. It can be used with small pieces of wood or even the use of a few candles.

The only downside to this chiminea is that it's only opened on the front, so you might not be able to get enough heat from it. It's simple to clean and maintain.

Based on your requirements and the space available, you can pick a chiminea that burns either propane or wood. If you decide to go with the gas option, make sure to select a model that can be connected to the propane tank. It's also recommended to purchase a propane tank cover for your terracotta chiminea so it stays safe from the elements when not using it.

Portable Chimineas

The addition of a chiminea to your patio or outdoor space can create a welcoming gathering spot for family and friends. Chimineas are available in a variety styles and materials depending on your budget and preferences. Chimineas made from clay, though traditional and relatively cheap, can crack when temperatures drop below freezing. Cast iron chimineas are heavy and costly, but they hold heat well and can develop a gorgeous natural patina with the passage of time. Chimineas made of steel tend to rust, but are lightweight. Cast aluminum is more heavy, but it's also more durable and easy to keep clean.

Make sure your chiminea is on a safe non-flammable, non-flammable surface like concrete, sand or a hearthpad, to ensure safety for everyone. It is also important to remove all materials that are flammable and to keep the chiminea bbq in a protected area during rainy weather. To ensure that no parts are broken, read the instructions carefully and have a trusted friend help you assemble your chiminea. After the chiminea is put together, ensure that the chimney mouth is open and not blocked. It should be elevated from the ground using the use of a stand made of metal or if it's a clay chiminea with clay legs built into it.

If you're looking to add a chiminea but don't want the smoke or the potential for chimney fires, consider an electric model. These models can be connected to propane tanks, which means you can enjoy the sound of a fire without worrying about a huge fire that could damage the property or impact the air quality of your neighborhood. Many of these models are also shaped to look more like an old-fashioned clay biggest chiminea so they blend in better with your backyard design. For instance this chiminea that is all-weather from AllModern has an oxided finish that gives it a casual, rustic appearance while remaining safe and practical. It's only accessible on the front, and does not have grilling grates, screens or rain cap, yet it does a great job of channeling smoke upwards to prevent getting choked by ash. It'll require more maintenance as you'll have to refuel more frequently than a wood-burning model.
