The shift from warm weather to colder seasons is always a bit of a shock to our lifestyles, as we pack away the patio furniture and settle into the sectional. But this year, as we're all trying to spend more time at home, the thought of bad weather can be particularly claustrophobic. Instead of giving in to cabin fever, we're on a mission to turn our outdoor spaces into all-weather areas we can use even in the middle of winter. Enter: the chiminea.
Sure, outerwear and warm fuzzy blankets can help stave off the cold, but a chiminea will add both warmth and ambiance to your outdoor space, so much so that we're calling it an essential for winter 2020/21.
In case you aren't familiar with these little fire pits, a chiminea is a front-loading fireplace (or oven) that features a vertical chimney or smoke vent. It's designed to allow users to load fuel from its rounded bottom section and draws fresh air into the fire by moving smoke through its chimney.
The result? A cleaner, hotter fire. Hello, safe, comfortable outdoor gatherings.
