chimineas
Outdoor clay fireplaces
Chimineas are outdoor fireplaces, typically made of clay or cast iron, with a bulbous body and a vertical chimney.
Originally from Mexico, they provide warmth and ambiance on patios and in gardens: We gathered around the chiminea on cool autumn evenings.
The enclosed design directs smoke upward and shields flames from wind.
Also spelled chimenea.
