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

- 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.

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.

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 and perfect for simple evening fires - even in smaller spaces like mine. It truly elevates the area, and I happy with this purchase.

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

We were well aware that this was not cast-iron, it’s cheap, light, metal. We were having an outdoor party and wanted something quick. It’s already starting to show signs of rust (and it hasn’t rained in New York in about 45 days.) We’ve also been covering it.If I could relive life, we’d save the $150 and invest in something bigger, better.Like the title says - it’s ok. It can fit about 3 logs at a time. At most. Throws some heat.(And PS the “Blue Rooster” version of this, is pretty small. We ordered that one too. 🤦‍♀️)

The title says Rust-Free IronThis is completely wrong, we only used it 3 or 4 times in a few months and now we have to throw it away as garbage, because it is very rusty and of poor quality and ugly.

Easy to put together, looks great
