Know before you buy
Yes, the mesh structure is designed to be visible from all sides, which helps radiate heat outward in every direction while providing a clear view of the flames.
The black finish will naturally develop a unique, rustic patina as it is exposed to fire and outdoor weather conditions. This is a characteristic of raw cast iron and adds to the piece's aesthetic character.
The chiminea features a sturdy three-leg base designed to provide a firm, stable footing. However, for the best safety and balance, we recommend placing it on a flat, level, and non-combustible surface.
The unit weighs 50.6 pounds. While the cast iron construction makes it heavy enough to remain stable in wind, it is best to choose a permanent spot for it rather than moving it frequently.
Because this is a wood-burning unit that sits relatively low to the ground, it is not recommended for use directly on wooden decks or other combustible surfaces. Always place it on a fire-resistant surface like stone, concrete, or brick.
