It’s time to take a closer look at one of my favourite looks for chimineas – corten steel or orange chimineas.

There’s something so rustic, industrial, and modern about the corten steel chims that really appeals to me. So I did a little scouring of what’s best on offer for the UK and the US for Summer 2022. What are your thoughts on Corten steel? I’ve found it to be quite a marmite dividing opinions! You either love it or hate it.

3. Jotul Froya Corten Steel Outdoor Modern Chiminea Wood Fireplace

If you’re looking for a chic and modern outdoor fireplace that will make a statement in your garden or patio, the Jotul Froya is the perfect choice.

Made from Corten steel, it’s designed to withstand all types of weather, so you can enjoy it all year round. It features a large fire opening, extended flue pipe and optional firescreen and floor plate, making it both functional and stylish.

This one comes part assembled, and they claim you don’t need to cover it… though with the amount of rain we get, I think you’ll likely extend its life by covering it. However, it’s good to know it’s a sturdy piece of kit and can cope with being left out once in a while.

There are optional extras of the base plate and fire screen, though this takes the price to over £500 – so I’d skip it. As for colouring, it starts off really orange and gradually gets more terracotta, rustic brown colouring as it ages.

A lovely choice of orange chiminea!

I included this amazing example of an orange chiminea as it is the most stunning fireplace for a larger outdoor space.

This one will withstand the elements and last for years to come. This incredible wood-burning fireplace is made from Corten steel, which is highly corrosion resistant and can resist all weather conditions without any maintenance.

Not to mention, the temperature of the fire is adjustable, so you can control how much heat you want radiating through your outdoor space.
