A chiminea is usually made out of clay or metal, with a firebox in the center. The heat radiates out through the outer shell when the fire burns, making it much warmer than traditional fires. They are also typically taller, so you don't have to sit as close to the fire when using them.
A chiminea is a traditional Mexican fire pit, typically made from clay or metal. It is circular in shape and has a low-angled cone-shaped opening. Chimineas can be portable for camping or more permanent for home use. They are common in Europe and Latin America.
The chiminea fire pit is intended for outdoor fireplaces and creates a comfortable atmosphere with the warmth and flickering light it offers.
The chiminea can be built on any surface, but it seems like the most popular choice is wood decks because they offer the best insulation ability.
The chiminea does not need to have an elaborate structure which means it is easily around.
Some chimeneas are also called fire pits or fire bowls. They have a small opening at the top to allow airflow through the fire while restricting any flame from going out of the hole. This gives a slow-burning, comfortable heat rather than an intense heat that could be uncomfortable to sit near while cooking on a grill grate attached to it.
