In terms of heat, a chiminea won't be as efficient as a fire pit. This is because it only radiates heat in one direction. Fire pits are open from all sides and are able to distribute heat evenly over more of a large area.

Design

Contrary to the more open look of a fire pit chimineas offer a hooded top that provides 360deg of protection for your fire that is roaring. A hood can cut down on smoke and ash, as well as protecting your furniture from heat damage.

As a result, your wood-burning chiminea produces far less smoke than an ordinary outdoor fireplace, but still creating the warm ambiance you enjoy during the warm autumn evenings and cool summer nights.

Chimineas in general are constructed from clay or terracotta chiminea. Other materials could also be employed. It is essential to keep your chiminea in a level position to avoid damage from being warped or overheated.
