Are cast iron chimineas dangerous ?
Some companies suggest that Cast Chimineas are dangerous because of the temperatures they reach. Well it’s obvious that a garden heater that gets hot will radiate more heat, over a much greater area, than one that doesn’t! So the choice is yours, do you want the most effective heater in a design that will truly enhance your patio area and be the topic of conversation for family and friends for many years to come. Or do you want to play safe and opt for a clay chiminea that will at first look great, but will not provide anywhere near as much heat, and is likely to crack and possibly fall apart, often after a very short time. Do you consider barbeques to be dangerous? The same common sense approach is required with both products.
