The fire place is cheaply made, I compared this product to a fire place my friends had just by the images provided and it’s not the same product I received.

This is a beautiful Chimnea, I will say that much! The patterns and paint antiquing are beautifully copied. Unfortunately the function of the patina is aging, something this unit only copies, which is quite laughable, because it’s trying to look like something that will last forever, but it’s all a ruse! Case in point:This is my second unit. I gave my son my old one and went “new”. The first was all cast iron including the stove pipe. Now it’s rolled sheet metal. The top cover is now stamped sheet metal. The grate went from sturdy cast iron to welded wire very similar to a charcoal cooking grate. The only parts that were not cast iron: the section in the middle you can see thru, the ash tray, and the sliding access door. The weight difference is very obvious. I would estimate they have cut the weight in half, thus cheapening the product into something that will not last long. You simply cannot expect sheet metal to compete with cast iron.I actually spoke to a representative of the company that reps the product and she told me it was because they were having burn outs in the bottom cast iron. So their answer to correct their problem THEY caused by cheapening the complete product was to cheapen the grate to where people cannot put too much wood into the unit. Sadly, this pathetic thought process is being copied by most all manufacturers. China has ruined so many products to where they no longer function it is a tragedy and a travesty.Just to be clear here, my first unit was purchased locally at a big box store about 15 years ago, and weighed over 40 pounds, nothing like the current model. The old grate still works although it did crack, as cast iron does over time with abuse of fire wood as one would expect. The sheet metal ash tray rotted into nothing, but it still is a functional chimnea.My advice if you want this unit to last would be to do as I did on the old one and use a few broken bricks under the grate for support along with some sand to keep the heat down. Additionally, anyone who expects cast iron NOT to rust doesn’t understand metals. Additionally, paint burns off over time, even heat rated paint. They sell a 1100 degree paint if you need to touch up. Also I would recommend NOT leaving this out in the elements throughout its life. The Colorado video is very old and is no longer representative of the product. The unit she has is no longer made and is actually something in between the old one I have, and the new one.Best of luck and happy fires! I hope this review has helped in some way. It’s really too bad a great product has to be sold off and cheapened into something it visually used to be, but simply will not last beyond a few years with luck and care.

Easiest to assemble with 2 people but 1 can do it. Great 360 degree view for all to sit around it. Only drawback are the grates. They are cheap and twisted after first fire but still useable. Easy to clean ashes out. This is my 2nd one and would buy the same again.

We bought this to have the ambience of a fire when we wanted. We had a low firepit, but the smoke often got in our eyes and nose. This Chiminea's chimney lifts the smoke above seating level and provides an excellent draft which causes the fire to build quickly as new wood ignites. It makes for a quick and hot fire, but you have to stand or sit close on a cold evening (30's and 40's). Maybe the heat goes up the chimney, too. And it isn't designed to heat an open patio! Not a drawback for us because enjoying a fire that takes little work to keep going (as long as the wood supply lasts) without being chased around by smoke was our goal. This product provides that. It is also sturdy, easy to assemble, and well constructed. The sliding door works smoothly and the ash pan fits perfectly ( and also makes cleaning out the ashes easy). Well pleased. It would be worth the money even if it didn't sell for a modest price.

This was my second model 30199. My instructions actually refer to it as the Panacea. I opted to sell my first one because of a move and always regretted it. This model is very well made. The sliding door allows you to poke the wood or what ever you may be burning and close it quickly. The grate comes as two parts; this allows for easy cleaning out, plus there is a n ash pan which slides out and is tremendous help in cleaning. It assembles relatively easily, however two people come in handy when attaching the first leg. Do not tighten the leg bolts until all are in, as there is a little moving the leg back and forth to get the three bolts seated. Other than that, it is a great product. Well made. Should last a life-time. I would buy it again, if need be.

Best value for the money.It's cast iron and steel, it WILL rust, period.The structural integrity is pretty good. My wife is piro and has tried to destroy this thing every time she uses it.We had the chimenea for two years and have had 50-75 fires it's stored on the patio 1500 feet from the ocean. It's been coved by a American classics cover when not in use ( only cover for grills and outdoor equipment, will only buy their products, they perform very good but when they fail they stand behind their products)The grates will get SO hot that they bend like potatoes chips from their own weight. So we flip them over every other use. The last fire and my super human strength broke one of the grill. No worries for the wife, maybe she can fuse them back together if she feeds it enough wood.Looking into replacements, maybe I will fabricate my own. I think we will get one more season out of the grill before we scrap it, not worth sandblasting and conditioning since a new one is less than $150. UPDATE 9/27/18...new one is on its way... we're 5 houses from the ocean in central FL and although cooler weather is still a month away, I wiggled my poor, rusted original and very much doubt it'll survive one more fire. It was worth it for the 3 winter seasons we used it.
