Vestra 799 Outdoor Chiminea

Two people can move Vestra 799 when it is cold; one cannot, and that is deliberate for something that holds fire.

It is cast iron: slow to warm and slow to let go, which is the whole argument for cast iron in a room used all evening.

Nothing on it is painted where the flame touches — paint on the inside of a fire bowl is a decision you regret the first evening. Firebricks and baffles are wear parts — they are listed as spares and take ten minutes to change.

Care

Tip the ash out after every use, or wet ash will eat the steel from the inside. Cover it if you can; nothing here minds rain otherwise.
