I just found a mini one at the thrift store. Good thing I KZbind it to know how to use it. 😊

[@BTROutdoors]

[@RichRich06]

Finally got mine delivered problem with these things is when you go looking for a medium size one but they are so beautiful I ended up with five foot one. Can’t wait to season it later today

I just bought one and was wondering what the process was. Thanks for posting this video! How often does the sand and brick need to be replaced?

[@BTROutdoors]

They will last a long time, if the bricks ever crack you can replace them and just add more sand when needed. Thanks so much for watching

[@naysworld]

I just bought the cutest lil one and would have just started a regular fire. Thanks for the video

[@srspower]

Flames coming out of the top is fine and normal, it's actually how it is meant to work and why it is so efficient. The jet is from secondary combustion where the smoke ignites and burns. This means is produces a lot less smoke and your neighbours will be thankful for that.

[@BTROutdoors]

Cool to know, mine has never had flames out the top and it still burns very well . They place where we purchased it told us not to have flames coming out the top. I will look into that info for future videos. Thanks for the comment and info, and thank you for watching

[@srspower]

@@BTROutdoors to be fair your chiminea is huge compared to the norm. So I guess it would be a big fire to get flames out of the top with yours. But for a normal sized one? Once seasoned a jet is normal and safe.

[@BTROutdoors]

@@srspower Thanks for the info, I might have to get a smaller one, any suggestions?

[@srspower]

@@BTROutdoors I'm in the UK so might not be able to give you many! But to be fair yours is great, it's like what many pubs gardens have here.

[@Endeva09]

Not to be “that guy” but you are NOT supposed to have flames coming out of the top of the chiminea - if you have fire coming out the top you have put far too much wood in.

[@eddierodden]

Once the seasoning process is complete, will you use the same set up going forward for bigger fires.

[@BTROutdoors]

Yes , but remember do not make them to big or you might crack it. They say if fire is coming out the top the fire is to big. Thanks for watching and thanks for the good question

[@robsutton3092]

How much time between small seasoning fires? I’d like to get started ASAP.

[@BTROutdoors]

I did my every night, just start with small fires and build your way up. Thanks for watching

[@robsutton3092]

@@BTROutdoors thank you

[@fabianchavez458]

Exactly my question.

[@fabianchavez458]

So is all 4 in 1 day too quick? If not too quick then how long in between fires if I want to do all 4 in 1 day??

[@pennydoherty368]

I received a chimenea for my birthday and haven't used it yet. The instructions said to seal it, so what do you recommend for a sealant? and what type of bricks did you use?

[@BTROutdoors]

Check out my latest video kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2m3kql9n7WXo6c&lc=Ugyo7Gawd-P0LC8WGUZ4AaABAg I used Thompsons Water Seal and just regular garden bricks from lowes, Thank you for watching

[@daylem.6288]

[@BTROutdoors]

Thanks Dayle

[@melallred6523]

I bought one from a garage sale. It’s always been left outside. I also didn’t know not to do that. Also it’s never had a fire in it. It probably won’t be useful now right?

[@BTROutdoors]

Just start with small fires it should be ok, might want to reseal it. I have a video on how to do that....super easy...thanks for watching. When I get home I will send you a link to the video.

do you water seal the inside of chimenea?

[@BTROutdoors]

No, you do not need to seal the inside, just the outside. Have fun and enjoy your chiminea.

[@staceyanns]

@@BTROutdoors one more thing. i bought all your items you suggested-thanks! re burning wood...so to clean the next day (ashes) do you replace sand each time to clean? or sweep just the ashes out of it? stupid questions...i've never lit a fire:) gracias

[@BTROutdoors]

@@staceyanns just sweep it out and if the sand gets low just add some more. There is no stupid question, I was the same way when I got mine. Have fun!

[@JohnWilliams-bx2zs]

What about clean up? Wood ashes and any other ashes.

[@BTROutdoors]

I just scoop it out, add more sand if I need it, thanks for the comment and thanks for watching

[@Terree918]

i do have a question.... i have a wooden deck and the chimenea im buying does have a stand with it... can i but bricks down on my deck to set it on without causing a fire....i do have a slab of concrete that i could use but id like to have it on my deck... but if u think not even with the bricks down as a precaution, i wont do it on the deck... please reply back....

[@BTROutdoors]

Very good question, Does it have a stand? I would think the bricks would be ok but let me make sure and I will get back to you. Thank you for watching

[@BTROutdoors]

This will be helpful, I think the bricks will be a great fire barrier but read this for more pre cautions. thebackyardmaster.com/can-you-put-chiminea-on-wood-deck/

[@BTROutdoors]

Let me know how it turns out

[@daylem.6288]

when building the fire, the flame height is the top of the face fire hole, rather than the top of the pipe or top, that the flames must stay below, from what i understand.

[@BTROutdoors]

As long as flames do not come out the top of the stack, you are ok
