How To Use Them Safely
Safety is a key concern when you’re investing in a fire pit.
A couple of key things to remember:
- Never start a fire with petrol or lighter fluid.
- Make sure the fire pit is in a clear space – the recommendation is that it’s at least 2m away from anything flammable, on all sides.
- If your fire pit doesn’t include a cover, it’s worth investing in one to keep yourself protected from any stray sparks.
- And – this goes without saying – never leave the fire pit unattended.
What's the difference between a fire pit and a chiminea?
Typically, a fire pit gives you a 360-degree view of the flames, and is an open pit.
A chiminea usually has a bulbous shape and a small window with a chimney.
Chimineas tend to be less smokey since they enclose the fire, as opposed to fire pits, which have an open flame.
