Why party animals love a chiminea garden heater

A long, hot summer is exactly what we deserve after a long, wet winter! But it isn’t always what we get. When you want to party hard and make the most of the weather, but it isn’t quite warm enough to stay out late without getting shivery, you need a simple solution. Here’s why so many of our party-loving customers say a chiminea garden heater is the bee’s knees.

20 reasons why you need a garden chiminea heater

So what, exactly makes a chiminea such a neat solution for people who just want to party on, and on, and on (and on!) without faffing around?

1. A chiminea looks good in every style of garden
2. The shape means it’s more of a space-saver than a bulky boxy BBQ
3. It is madly easy to use. Just set a fire inside the fat belly then add fuel now and again. It’ll mostly look after itself
4. A 3 legged stand makes it an unusually stable choice for wobbly surfaces
5. They come in a wide price range with something for everyone
6. They’re available in small, medium, large and XL, each size up generating more heat
7. They’re made from either pottery or metal – some are decorated, others plain
8. No controls, no fannying around, it’s a very simple yet high-performing garden fire
9. They use very little fuel, burn very efficiently, and create very little ash – perfect for town and city gardens where you don’t want to drive the next doors nuts
10. The fuel – most of the time wood – is easy to find and cheap to buy
11. There’s minimal smoke thanks to a design invented and perfected over centuries in Mexico
12. They work like a big radiator, giving off heat from the bulbous body with its enormous surface area
13. A chim is much safer than an open fire, especially when you’ve had a few too many 😉
14. It is also safer than an open fire when there are excited kids and pets running around
15. They radiate impressive amounts of heat 360 degrees around
16. They give off really lovely mood lighting
17. You can cook BBQ food on and in most chimineas, giving you a three-in-one party machine: heat, light and food
18. Leave it to cool down gradually – even if it’s windy the mouth design means any leftover hot wood or ash won’t get blown around
19. Metal or clay, it can stay outdoors all year round as long as you use the right protective cover in winter
20. You can buy more than one to create an extra-cosy garden ‘room’ where party goers are completely surrounded by the magic of real flames, warmed all the way round
