Outdoor fireplaces can be found in many cold regions where people want to feel comfortable outdoors but cannot light an open fire. These fireplaces are mainly closed containers that contain the fuel and the fire and spread the heat through convection through the surrounding air.The flat type fireplace is the other category. This is similar to the bowl type but with the difference of elevation.
They can easily be spotted due to their prominent chimney. The main idea of the chiminea is the air ventilation system that promoted the creation of a proper cross draft that helps the fuel to burn properly. The chimney on top helps a lot with this and it also carries the smoke away from the people sitting around it. This makes it more comfortable to get close to.
