FAQ's
How do chimineas compare to fire pits?
A fire pit is classified as a “Recreational Fire”, much like a ring of rocks, whereas a enclosed chiminea is classified as a “Outdoor Portable Fireplace”. Blue Rooster chimineas may also be classified as “Cooking Devices” due to the cooking grates and enclosed design. There are many fire pits incorrectly advertised as chimineas. They have mesh wraparounds, multi openings, and faux chimneys that only funnel smoke and have no effect on the fire. Due to lack of proper engineering, a mislabeled fire pit will never draft properly. Fire pits have a tendency to be hard to light and smoke/smolder due to not having proper drafting. Fire pits also have safety concerns regarding the possibility of a sudden gust of wind blowing embers into dry grass, deck, or a neighbor’s property.
Where to use it?
A properly designed chiminea with mouth screen is considered an enclosed burning device. Often, they can be used where open fires are not allowed. They also classify as cooking devices with the grate inserts and should be allowed wherever a gas grill is accepted.
Maintenance?
Just like a car that needs an oil change now and then, a chiminea requires occasional ash clean out to keep it burning clean.

What color chiminea is the best?
Most wood burning chiminea buyers stick with the charcoal color since the soot and ash buildup turns a colored chiminea charcoal. The effects of sun and weather will also wear down the factory paint over time and high temperature firings eventually darken colored chimineas. BBQ spray paint is a quick fix for regular maintenance of cast iron, steel and cast aluminum parts.
The Blue Rooster chimineas all start with 3 layers of high temp charcoal (black) fireplace paint. The color finishes are then applied to create a patina finish. High temp spray paint is available at your local home store or hardware store in a variety of colors. High temp spray paint can be applied in just a few minutes and will keep your chiminea looking brand new.
Should I place something under my chiminea?
We recommend using a deck protector hearth pad. A chiminea does not direct much heat downward, but the occasional ember or ash will happen with any fire. For a more permanent pad use cement blocks or pavers available at any local outdoor garden store. Four 18x18 patio blocks make a three-foot hearth pad that works great to protect your surface from an ember or stray ash.
How long do Blue Rooster Chimineas last?
With proper use and maintenance our chimineas will last for many years. Blue Rooster has made metal chimineas for over 20 years and most are still in use.

I would have given it five stars, except that the door is rather flimsy, but the rest of it is super solid, built to last and very nice looking on the patio.

This was slightly more than I was initially looking to pay for my chiminea. But, after reading review after review of all the less expense ones, I realized this is one of those things that's worth paying slightly more for the craftsmanship rather than getting a cheaper one and replacing it year after year. Now that it has arrived, I'm so glad I did!This thing is absolutely beautiful in person, even more so than it looks in the photos. The green paint highlights the beautiful design, making this such a unique piece. Because most of the photos focused on the design itself, I was a little worried that it would be a bit busy and maybe look cheesy. But there is actually the perfect amount of empty space on either side of the designs (which are on the front and back) so it's absolutely perfect.Also, it's sturdy, holds a good size fire, and feels safe to use on my small patio. It's pretty clear that this thing was well-designed and they include all kinds of information on how to take care of it and even some additional green paint for touch-ups. The cover that's included is even a really good quality, so it doesn't look bad if you have to keep it covered for part of the year. I feel like they put a lot of thought into everything. This chiminea is absolutely worth the price it costs.
