Chiminea Information

A chiminea is a type of outdoor fireplace that is a much cheaper alternative to building an outdoor fireplace or fire pit from scratch. Chimineas were originally from Mexico. They are free-standing pot-bellied units (which means they are easy to take with you if you move, or even off to a vacation home) that are usually made from clay (cheaper) or cast iron/aluminum (more expensive but less prone to cracking). A chiminea burns wood, just like an outdoor fireplace.

If you're interested, you may want to buy a chiminea online. Many Internet merchants can offer discounts since they don't keep expensive brick and mortar stores, and many offer free shipping like the ones below:
