Until I started learning more about outdoor fireplaces I didn’t know what a chiminea was, but the more I learned the more intrigued I became. Outdoor chimineas are kind of like mini, portable outdoor fireplaces. They are perfect for your patio or deck just make sure they are placed on a brick or concrete surface for safety (you wouldn’t want them directly on a wood surface).

The nice advantage they have over fire pits is that they direct the smoke up into the air, even on windy evenings when the smoke from a fire pit may blow in your face. This is thanks to their shape with the round body connected to the slim neck which directs the smoke up. Beyond their functionality they make a very attractive piece of furniture for your patio as they come in a variety of styles.
