Do you make 360 open or multi opening chimineas?
No. The reason is that 90% of the time there is some sort of wind movement outside and nobody likes to sit in the smoke. Also, a large gust of wind can blow ashes and sparks through a multi opening chiminea and cause a lot of problems. 360 openings do not burn as efficiently causing a lot of smoke and smoldering. For safety concerns and efficient burning, single opening chimineas are preferred in any residential or recreational setting. How do I spot a cheap chiminea? Cheap or inferior products are normally listed without weights. There are a lot of 40-50 pound steel chimineas on the market. They won’t last much longer then a clay chiminea, but the mass market handles them because of the huge markups. Also, look for tin rain caps that extend past the neck. They rust out right away and inflate the actual height. If you have any questions about an outdoor fireplace, fire pit, or chiminea, please give us a call.
