The Prairie Fire Chiminea has a large mouth opening for full view of the fire, handles fire logs 12"-14" larger logs can be placed vertically. Hinged safety door provides easy access for adding wood and roasting marshmallows. Efficient drafting design also ensures the cleanest burning fire to get the most from your firewood with little ash left over. Efficient burning means much less cleaning than fire bowls or fire pits.

Safe for use on deck or patio. Grilling grate included for outdoor wood cooking. Solid Cast Aluminum body means you never have to worry about rust. Carbon steel assembly parts and solid cast iron burning/grilling grates will not let you down.

Since 1997 The Blue Rooster's mission has been to design/manufacture the best chimineas available for people to enjoy their time together outdoors. Our commitment to customers has earned us your trust and respect. We also carry a full line of replacement parts if the unexpected happens.

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 cleanout to keep it burning clean.

  • Easy to light
  • Low smoke
  • Burns bright, hot and clean
  • Easy grill access
  • Emergency heat source
  • Stable design
  • Long lasting and portable

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.

Great product but be sure to order the bigger size
Easy to assemble. Gives off great heat but for the price you pay it's small. If we didn't have a battery operated chainsaw I would send this back. You will need to cut regular wood in half to easily get to fit inside of it. Adding a picture of a regular piece of cut wood and after we cut it in half.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Attractive and Well-made
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2022
My wife wanted a chiminea, so we did our research and felt like a cast aluminum one made more sense than any of the clay ones we could find. This is a beauty! Looks great on our patio and was relatively easy to assemble. Putting the legs on might require two people if you have short arms; however, I was able to do it by myself. No fire, as yet (it got too warm too fast here), but we have a cast iron wood stove in the house and can see this will do very nicely outside. Recommended.
