If you do get one just be sure to follow the steps for seasoning it TO THE LETTER. It’s really likely to crack if you don’t I had a good read through all 92 reviews and it’s common with the exception of those who took the time to cure it properly and then to be sensible with the fire size.
This is not destined for a beast-of-a-fire – it will crack.
Cheapest Steel Chiminea
This one was my first chiminea and it’s from B&Q. It’s the La Hacienda Panama Cast iron & steel chiminea.

Cheap Contemporary Chiminea
For those who fancy something a bit more contemporary, this is the La Hacienda Contemporary Steel Chiminea.

This one from La Hacienda (a well-known brand of chimineas) is a simple contemporary design, steel chiminea and it only weighs 6KG. Love the look of this one as it maintains a rough idea of the original chiminea shape but with a modern take. Very 2022.

These 360 Mesh Chims are perfect for the person who can’t decide between a chiminea and a firepit. They are great to seat people all the way around, a bit more prone to smokiness but better once the fire gets going.
Cheap Used Chimineas
Going for a second-hand chiminea can be a great way to get your hands on an older chiminea that needs some TLC. A wire brush, some heat-resistant spray paint, and a bucket full of elbow grease could land you a real beauty.
