Chiminea Fireplaces

Fire pits are great but chimineas provide an entirely new dimension to fire pits in the backyard. These unique outdoor fireplaces are works of art that provide both ambience and warmth for family gatherings.

Chimineas should be kept outdoors and should not be placed directly under any materials that are flammable. They should be protected from rainy weather.

Safety

It is essential to ensure safety regardless of what kind of fire feature is located in your garden. Both chimineas as well as fire pits can produce hot sparks that can lead to burns. Both emit a plume that could contain pollutants, such as secondhand smoke. Make sure that the area around the chiminea does not contain anything combustible.

Chimineas and fire pits must be placed on an area that is fire-proof, such a pavers, concrete bricks or slate tiles. The chiminea must be at minimum 10 feet from any structure, or the combustible materials.
