Answer 6

Both the same but fire pit will give off heat in all directions where as chimnea it's focused in one direction

@parang91697 , you do get good heat of it once it's going. x

Answer 8

We had a chiminea for about 5 years & then we decided to buy a firepit about 2 years ago so we could all sit around it. I've now just started thinking of going back to a chiminea mainly because if it's even a little bit windy the flames go everywhere & the chiminea feels more controlled/compact if that makes sense altho i do love all 4 of us around the firepit so will probably wait until we need to replace the firepit & then go back to a chiminea! Mx

@supernational110 thanks. I was swaying towards a fire pit but hadn’t thought of the flames in the wind x

---

@parang91697 it's something I hadn't even thought about either! My hubby is thinking of building some kind of screen so that it's a bit more shielded which would be much better as the heat that comes off it is amazing. I'll attach a pic from the other night for you  

---

Scrubbed off my sons face lol but you can see how good a fire you can get on it- ours was from asda Mx

---

@supernational110 that looks ideal, a nice roaring fire. Maybe an old fashioned fire guard would do the trick? X

---

Do you know what diameter it is? X

---

@parang91697 it's about 80cm- the biggest I could get at the time. My hubby was thinking of just getting a fence panel from b&m & making some 'feet' for it to create a kind of windbreak lol

---

Our fire pit has a metal domed mesh top that you can put on while the fire is going and it stops most of the sparks etc I haven’t got a pic but we got it from b&m a couple of years ago  

Answer 9

Not quite finished but this is our pit

Answer 10

Love my fire pit

Answer 12

Cant fire mine up at moment , due to coronavirus, not allowed fires.  

Comments

@hurlow8 where are you that no fires allowed ?  

---

@guthrie374 live in manchester , wigan area

---

Local council rules I believe jennie , stay safe

---

I cant in my area too although alot of people are still doing it

---

@hurlow8 I’m sure ours is no burning of garden wastes but are allowed garden log fire pits  

---

It is asked that you dont have fires if any sort as the smoke can cause people to cough more when the smoke irritates. You could have a neighbour suffering covid

---

@parsaye60 it's government requests as Serviously can cause breathing issues to those with virus and those withouteho have breathing issues which will then need to go to hospital. I love love my fire butno fire here for a while. Xxx

---

Manny 2, not heard that

Answer 13

Sorry to butt in but are they ok on decking or would I need something underneath it been thinking of getting one ta x

Comments

@lurcher4 I would put something under them if on the decking

---

I think I'd be a bit wary about putting my firepit on my decking as there's always lots of little embers flying about. :/ Mx

---

DEFINITELY need a larger non inflamable base

---

Reason got rid of BBQ

---

@lurcher4 some fire pots you can buy have a lid that doubles up as a base I had one once

---

@lurcher4 large paving slab x

Answer 14

It had only just been lit so it soon calmed down

Answer 15

We have both and to be fair, they're both the same, depends on what you're burning in my opinion x

Answer 16

A jumper

Answer 17

Comments

@bard4 we just got these wondered if they were any good x

---

@malek71 yes there quite good, hardly any smoke from them either xx

---

@malek71 there actually good once it’s burned a while breaking it up, keeps the fire on longer xxx
