Wood Burning Chimenea

[@jumboslice1514]

Love my chiminea. I put two pieces of 8 inch stove pipe on mine and a fine wire mesh on top to keep the embers down in summer, works great. I can take the pipe off anytime but it’s main purpose is to take the smoke above my porch roof cause otherwise the smoke catches the wind and fills my porch with smoke.

I have a chiminea …just don’t throw cardboard in it or crazy 2 foot flames will be shooting out of the top!😜

[@guitarman3200]

Our front patio extends 8 ft. from the house. What is the recommended distance from the face of the Chimenea to a structure ? How much wood sparks come up through the top chimney ?

[@b.d.1755]

@@thekohser how far should you keep it from a deck made from composite wood?

[@robertm5969]

Check the fire code in your area. For us it's 15ft from any wooden structure or property line

I was wondering which is more practical a metal stand or Terra Cotta?

[@jumboslice1514]

I’d go terra cotta

[@satanismyusername]

Basically is the Terra Cotta stand going to transfer heat below to my deck?

[@jumboslice1514]

Not an issue really. With a chiminea you should put sand or lava rock in the bottom to dissipate heat. I put in 20 pounds of sand that you buy at the lumber store, Home Depot. I works great at keeping the heat dispersed inside so the bottom doesn’t get too hot.

Can ot be ised on a covered deck with high ceiling and screened in front and sides?

[@fountainguru2010]

We do not recommend putting a chimenea under a covered area.

[@johnnimmo4114]

Can these be used on concrete slabs?

[@mountainviewvintage386]

Of course

[@benmcdonald6963]

I think it’s better to have chimmaneas they are much safer than fire pits

[@fountainguru2010]

agree

[@danr.graham9331]

Do you put sand, etc. in the bottom for extended life?

[@ZaarsShed]

@@thekohser Can you please elaborate?

[@jumboslice1514]

Yes put sand or lava rock to dissipate heat which will extend the life of the chiminea

[@leek4925]

Do you need a stand for it

[@gusaguire9182]

Will the color burn off???

[@eulissbenoit5968]

where can i buy one

[@beverlybalius9303]

Can you put them inside your house for Emergency????

[@darklight4815]

i would not recommend it ..a portable propane indoor heater would be a safer option

Is it okay to use fatwood to get fire started in these?

[@jessievisser3749]

Nice

[@sedoniadragotta8323]

Can you cook in these or use just for heat ?

[@ExposedRoot]

Just got a new one. Had one years ago. Of course you can cook in them. Anything you can cook on a grill and stuff you can't cook o a grill. Pizza, bake bread, etc. Enjoy.

[@sedoniadragotta8323]
