chiminea
Outdoor clay fireplace
A chiminea is a freestanding outdoor fireplace, typically made of clay or cast iron, with a bulbous body and a vertical chimney that directs smoke upward.
Originally from Mexico, chimineas are used for warmth and ambiance on patios and in backyards.
We gathered around the chiminea on cool autumn evenings.
The enclosed design makes them safer than open fire pits, though clay versions can crack if exposed to sudden temperature changes.
