SINGLYFIRE Prairie Fire Outdoor Chiminea Fireplace Deck or Patio Backyard Wooden Fire Pit with Chiminea Cover Rust-Free Iron Black

This is very affordable chiminea, it works well. It is made of sheet metal which is thick enough, seems fine for what it is, it's not flimsy at all. Nice features, grill gate, top, poker, and cover. The cover is very thin, I don't think it will last long. you can get another on Amazon for $20. Puts out a lot of heat. Do I think it will get some surface rust, sure, You can use products to stop that. It doesn't bother me if I get a little rust. The screw? Use a drill when you put it together, hand tight with a screw driver is not enough, drill it tight. I love the clay chiminea, however because of my climate, they crack. This is a very good chiminea for the money.

Puts out more heat than expected, no smoke in my face. Easy assembly. Good buy very satisfied

The media could not be loaded. I love the esthetic of the chiminea. It creates a charming ambiance that is the focal point for our balcony with its antique design. It’s falsely labeled “cast iron” which it’s absolutely NOT. It’s lightweight enough where it’s easy to move and won’t blow over in a wind storm. Its perfect for simple evening fires - even in smaller spaces like mine. It truly elevates the area, and I happy with this purchase. It does however smoke out the front grate which is changing the color of the front which isn’t ideal…. Cheap China knockoff of a real cast iron chiminea but a nice decor touch for the cost.

Perfect next to our in ground pool. Heats up our patio are perfectly

I like it a lot and it is the perfect size. However, it has already shown rust even with the cover on. I will get some rustoleum spray paint and freshen it up, but geez after one month there should be NO rust. You get what you pay for on this. It does however make a nice fire.

This was a great buy. It is just as sturdy and just the right size as it is pictured. It's easy to assemble and comes with everything you need. I love it.

- of cost and utility. The Singlyfire prairie chiminea is definitely NOT cast iron as suggested by its foreign supplier, but is constructed of a fair gauge sheet steel. Mine went together easily, without any hemispherical mating problems of the upper/lower halves. Before use I suggest painting it well inside and out with a 1200 degree grill-style spray paint; also using something like a DAP, high-temp mortar joint caulk at the chimney-body joints and over fasteners to prevent condensation gathering and rust from forming. You can expect a decent radiant heat when burning, as long as there's no wind, which will backdraft the grillwork (it having some misalignment latching problems.) The fire grate is cute - meant more for grilling burgers that holding a heavy ash bed and the vinyl cover is a good fit, though lightweight and likely wouldn't last much of a winter if the unit were left outdoors. Might be a good idea to clean and rinse the stove within 24 hours of any use to also prevent corrosion of the thin gauge fire pot All in all, though, not a bad buy for the money.

Added a 14 inch pizza stone to view the fire. Otherwise you can't see the fire itself. The extra hatch below is a waste of time. But the hatch itself, and the large hatch all attach with bolts that will not stay tight.I bought this to kill time until can afford the $600 aluminum chiminea.
