The Big Green Egg Chiminea offers the warmth and ambiance of an outdoor heater with our same ceramic technology, making it a great addition to your deck or patio. It withstands rain even when hot, burns wood or charcoal, has a screened front to prevent the escape of stray sparks and can be used as a portable barbecue grill with the addition of an optional cooking grid. Since it does double duty for heating and cooking, it is practical for camping and tailgating. The low tripod stand is optional.
