The Blue Rooster Prairie Chiminea Outdoor Fireplace - Wood Burning Cast Aluminum Deck or Patio Firepit

Easy to put together, this chimenea is nice, good quality and has protective gate to keep wood from falling out. Looks great in back yard.

I purchased the Blue Rooster Prairie Chiminea as a gift for my daughter’s family. They absolutely love it! The fire box is large and shows a beautiful flame. Throws off quite a bit of heat too. Beautifully made, wonderful product!! Highly recommend this!

Some of the reviews talk about smoke being an issue. Ignore them. This thing rocks. It's so easy to get a fire going in it and as soon as you have a good hot fire (and you are burning seasoned wood) this thing will burn hot and virtually smoke free. It kicks off quite a bit of heat. And the product is high quality and should last for as long as you wish to own it.

It is expensive, but it is a very nice chiminea. I was hesitant to make the purchase, because of the price, but I am really glad I bought it. I've had several chances to use it and it works great. Be mindful that if the logs are longer than about 16", they may not fit inside very well. I am going to buy a little electric chain saw to cut the longer logs that I have, so they fit better. That is the only issue I have had. I recommend this chiminea whole heartedly, and it sure makes for some great fireside conversations on cool evenings.

Solid chimnea. Only problem is flimsy screen door that has gaps when fully closed.

Awesome.Sits on our rooftop patio. Alongside a gazebo.We don't need to spend money on vacations.... just get some wood, some wine and do a staycation.Good things... it comes in a smaller box than expected and it was easy to handle.Planned update: I'm going to use metal thumbscrews to hold the top to the base. I doubt I'll use it for BBQ, but is I did, I don't want to go downstairs to grab a screw driver.We're quite happy with it. The only problem now is that my wife wants to join me upstairs instead of watching Netflix downstairs. So my cigar smoking time is not so private...

These things are sturdy and keep the smoke out of your face. Only good for one or two people snuggling up to the open face, but works perfect for my purposes. Efficient burn as well, and reduces my usage of wood for fuel considerably.

Review after 2 weeks and three small fires as recommended by the manufacturer.I'm personally very disappointed in this purchase considering it wasn't exactly cheap. From what I've seen so far the aluminum casting seems like it will hold up. However, details leave a lot to be desired.1) The second pictures shows that while sturdy legs are supplied, the entire weight bears on only the end of 3 corners (green circles). The red circles show the rest of the 3 legs are elevated off the ground (the issue isn't the deck as it was assembled on a flat kitchen LVP floor and showed the same issue). This will likely ultimately damage the deck and I'm concerned about overall stability of the chiminea.2) It is a little tough to see from the first picture but unit looks misshaped. This is because of how the handle holes were drilled. Picture 3 has two identically sized rectangles. The left handle is either too far front or the right is too far back compared to the alignment of the front opening.Point 2 is aesthetics and will drive me nuts but it goes along with point 1 in that there is no attention to detail here and that makes me very concerned about the longevity of the overall piece. I work in manufacturing, it's not hard to build a jig so that the holes for the feet and handles can be drilled in the correct location for each mass produced piece. I don't know if this is a China factory issue or is the final drilling/assembly is done in Minnesota. Regardless this is poor craftsmanship which lends me to doubt the overall manufacturing quality of the chiminea.
