FAQs

How do you light a chiminea?

To light a chiminea, start with small pieces of dry kindling or firelighters and place them in the base. Gradually add larger wood or charcoal once the fire catches. Avoid overloading the chiminea and always use seasoned wood or smokeless coal for a cleaner burn.

Can a chiminea be left outside?

Chimineas can withstand normal outdoor conditions, but exposure to extreme cold can cause cracking. It’s best to store them in a garden storage box or cover them with a weatherproof cover during winter months for added protection.

Can you use a patio heater indoors?

No, patio heaters are designed for outdoor use only. They emit heat and, in some cases, gases that can be dangerous in enclosed spaces. Always follow the manufacturer’s safety recommendations.
