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

I’m searching hard for an X-Large clay chiminea, but in the meantime, this works great. Very easy to put together. Some parts may not lineup exactly but it’s easy enough to manipulate and get a solid fit. My only concern is I live in a windy area and this is kinda light. But it burns well. Has good ventilation and gets nice and toasty. Obviously not as sturdy as a clay chiminea, but for the price, it works great.

UPDATE: Okay, so it's been a couple of months now. Used 3 times for my plentiful paper (even some plastic) waste and Amazon boxes. I'm in the N.E. Washington deep dark wet woods. Perpetually dark, cloudy skies in the winter/spring. Good testing grounds. Kept it under it's cover. It's such a nice chimenea! For you who wondered? No. No rust noted yet. And EVERYTHING rusts out here. Burning hot papers and cardboard, roaring rocket flames from top of smoke stack. So abused? Yes. It's just fine for me, folks. Will update this over the lifespan of the product perhaps. Thank you, Singlyfire. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Good sized. It's all at least stovepipe material or thicker. Looks sturdy. Can't complain for the price. Will update after I've burned a bunch of mail and cardboard. Looks better than the garbage can I was using. Assembly was not difficult. Synched everything down really good. Only technical wish was for a larger, higher up grate and bottom center ash door/drawer for frequent paper ash burning/emptying. May cut my own with Dremel.

I'd give this 3 1/2 stars...Good fire pit for the patio. Ideally I wanted a ceramic chimenea, however I like that this one is easy & lightweight to move. It was simple to put together, HOWEVER, there were 2 sections on the schute that would not align at all. Even my husband, a 30 yr. sheet metal worker, could not get the screws to fit in the holes. It still works, though. Another negative is the door is "wonky" and cheap, does not close well and isn't sturdy. Lost review stars also for not having an opening at the bottom to release the ashes 😕. Overall, I do not regret this purchase, it'll do.

I bought the open box and let me tell you this is best liytle chiminea EVER!!! Easy to assemble. And keeps you warm as its raining today and I cannot say enough even mu husband loves it!!!

We did do some mitigation - used fireplace paint and sealant on some key areas as a previous comment recommended. For under $30 we hopefully stopped immediate rust. Otherwise, this is exactly what we wanted. It's warming and nice to look at without being too short that it leaves us in smoke. It's definitely sturdy enough, and easy to get started. The smoke is minimal at best, and if you're wondering - the temp at the smoke stack is around 450°F. It's the perfect size for our deck, but will easily move to the driveway for Halloween. We are very happy with the purchase.

- 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.

We bought this May 9th 2025 and it has completely rusted out pure juke it's not rust proof will never purchase it again.

First I will say packaged well easy to put together. It does look nice . functionality unless you have raging fire smoke comes out front in your face which chiminea are supposed not to do. Then real kicker day two light winds 10 to 15 mph blew the whole thing right off my patio. Its so light you will have to put bricks or something to keep it put.

Wife loves it

The SINGLYFIRE Prairie Fire Outdoor Chiminea Fireplace Deck is a smallish metal one. It is tricky choosing an outdoor chiminea. I had a ceramic one for a decade and that eventually cracked and it eventually became unsafe. (Keep your fires moderate and don’t let them get too hot). Then I had a metal space age looking one for about five years. That rusted and also looked unsafe. The SINGLYFIRE Prairie Fire Outdoor Chiminea is painted and should manage to avoid rust. ASSEMBLY: It was very easy to assemble, Ikea would be impressed. SIZE: It is a good size for the space. It comes with a lid to help avoid accumulating water in the base. It also has a (not very attractive) rain cover for the winter months. OPERATION: It takes smallish sticks and wood logs nicely. They need to be no more than 30-40cms to fit properly. The closing front mesh door and the small opening below it allow the fire to breath reasonably effectively. Smoke does tend to escape from the front top 15cms of the opening especially when you put new material in. It seems the chimney diameter is not quite wide enough for all the smoke to escape quickly enough. That will of course depend on wind direction. On a still day with little wind you can see smoke swirling around in the top part of the bowl and eventually escaping through the top part of the front grill. Keeping the fire from getting too fierce is important with a chiminea. Initially there will be some fumes as the heat cures the paint and that is another reason not to let the fire get too big for the first few uses. This seems to be good to vey good value for money.
