If there is one word that could describe the Unique Arts Solid Copper Chiminea, it would be “versatile”. The word is defined as “capable of doing many things competently” by the American Heritage Dictionary. Indeed, this fire appliance from Unique Arts is more than just a chiminea. It is also a grill and a fire pit.

The Solid Copper Chiminea consists of a chimney that rests on a dome which, in turn, is supported by a circular steel frame. This frame is wrapped with a screen but is provided with an access door. The frame stands on a fire pit that is elevated from the ground by a wrought iron stand.

The top of the chimney, dome, and fire pit are made of 100% copper. In addition to its durability, it also has superior heat conductivity. It can be polished for a handsome shine but you can also allow it to develop its natural blue green patina over time. You might also appreciate the fact that the 100% solid copper is also 100% recycled.

The fire pit is a deep bowl and it comes with a steel cooking grate that is plated with chrome. It is not painted and thus you don’t have to worry about any toxic element in it. Apart from keeping you warm, therefore, you can also it for your barbecue. Like the dome, the fire pit is durable and can stand heat up to 1,700°F.

When all the components are assembled together, from the chimney through the dome, screened frame, and fire pit down to the stand, the Unique Arts Solid Copper Chiminea functions as a chiminea. You remove the chimney, dome, and screened frame and it morphs into a fire pit. Or, put the parts back together, only this time the fire pit goes to the top of the frame, the dome sits where the fire pit used to be but it is upside down, and the chimney is left out and you have a grill.
