    I love the smell of an outside wood fire. When I sit by it, I feel warm and relaxed. My dogs do the same thing.
    I have a fire pit, but that is such a project to use. Been thinking about a chiminea. there are metal and ceramic ones. Anyone want to comment on these?

    That looks like an operator issue. I am thinking they used lighter fluid and spill it all over everything.

    I have never regretted my metal fire pit/chiminea. It even weathered a big branch falling on top of it in a storm last summer. I don't know that a ceramic one would take the wind abuse we contend with here.
