Cheap and smokey! I expected this to be cheaply made but this takes the cake! I just got it and i think the door latch will break the next time I use it. Screens don't line up. The top is not fully open to let smoke rise up and out so all the flames and smoke go out the sides. The top has a bunch of small holes.... I'm considering cutting them out. The only good thing is that the screens protect any fire pop sparks. Look elsewhere!

I purchase this to replace a 15 year old Clay Chiminea that finally cracked when it was accidentally bumped too hard. The clay one also only had a 120 degree zone of feeling heat at the mouth but because of its construction, it had a great draw and burned the wood super hot and completely. I was hoping this 360 degree open designed one would give off heat in all directions yet still pull most of the smoke up and away through the flue... I must admit the flue looked too short for adequate draw but I purchased it anyway. Well guess what... Its not tall enough. Smoke is poorly drawn up and mostly comes out 360 degrees around the opening. I will be looking for a way to add about 4' to this flue and see what improvement that makes. Just like i had the feeling that this short flue would not work and provide insufficient draw to create that slight negative pressure... i have the same feeling that adding 4' should make things much better and useful.
