Chiminea Fireplaces

Fire pits are fantastic, but chimineas offer an entirely new dimension to fire pits in the backyard. These unique outdoor fire pits are works of art, providing warmth and ambience for your family gatherings.

Chimineas should be stored outdoors and not placed directly beneath any material that is flammable. They also must be protected from rain.

Safety

Whatever type of fire feature you choose for your garden, you need to be aware of safety precautions. Both fire pits and chimineas can produce hot sparks, which can cause burns. They also emit an ash plume that may contain pollutants such as secondhand tobacco smoke. Make sure that the area around is free of any combustible material and that the chiminea is located away from trees that are overhanging or eaves that could catch fire. Additionally, it's a good idea to wear a protective garment when using a indoor chiminea especially if you are planning to cook food on it.

A spark arrester can help minimize the production of unwanted sparks that could cause grass fires to ignite or spread the flame to nearby materials that are combustible. It's important not to extinguish a fire with water because the sudden change in temperature can crack clay or terracotta and cause damage to metal.

Both chimineas and fire pits are best placed on an area that is fire-proof such as pavers or concrete, bricks, or slate tiles. The chiminea must be at 10 feet away from any structure, or the combustible materials.
