chimenea

Patio fire vessel

A chimenea is a freestanding outdoor fireplace, typically made of clay or cast iron, with a bulbous body and a narrow chimney.

Originally from Mexico, chimeneas provide warmth and ambiance on patios and in gardens: We gathered around the chimenea on cool evenings.

The enclosed design directs smoke upward and radiates heat outward.
