Very Happy
Our chiminea looks amazing and functions really well. Out of lock down we have been having small gatherings where people have enjoyed sitting around the fire chatting and being able to toast marshmallows. 🔥👌

Very impressed with the service and product. Chimanea Delivered in just 2 days. Have had lots of comments on how lovely it looks. Would highly recommend this company.
This is great!
Does exactly what it should. Burns well, looks good and keeps us warm.
Locally made too.
Fantastic item.
We have bought a Diablo log burning fireplace and a wood hive log store. We have been really impressed with the customer service. We spoke to the team who advised us on the best products to suit our garden. The products were delivered and installed in the garden with great care and attention. We have been so pleased by the quality of the products which are so sturdy and they look fantastic.The heat generated is amazing - it has really made a difference to how we use our garden.
Corten steel firebox has live up to expectation and more.The Tinderbox
Chimenea is brilliant it already has taken on that lovely rust coloured patina.
Its easy to light and dispose of ashes.Great heat can sit out all night.
Love it so much I want another.
We are delighted with our corten Steel chimnea which has rusted well and looks fantastic. The delivery service was excellent as we didn't have to wait long at all and Tom brought it a long way. This ensured that there was no damage in transit.
We would definitely recommend this company.
Professional product (chimnea) and personal service. Nice chat when delivered too. I've told several people and the guests I had over loved feeding the flames and marvelled at not being inundated by smoke. What else can I say?
As someone else said the draw is very impressive, not much off a full chimney. A baffle in a 7 shape like you see in the back of a regular chimney, even if fixed, might both slow the draw and help capture that heat
Fabulous chiminea - very stylish and burns well. Wonderful personalised service - would definitely recommend!
Modern , quality product , whilst being aesthetically pleasing !! Would recommend
Great service…and product….excellent communication throughout….prompt delivery…..well recommended !
Quick efficient service
Love the way it changes colour
Just the right time of year to use
Thank you, would definitely recommend 👌
Amazing service and beautiful products!! Thank you so much guys.
Great product, very well made and throws off a lot of heat whilst looking great as a piece of garden sculpture, especially now it has gained some rust and heat colour.
Delivery was very quick and friendly and my initial enquiries were answered promptly.
Would definitely recommend.
One product improvement- the draw on the fire is very strong due to the shape and a small damper hidden in the top would help to control the burn rate and propensity to draw up and distribute ash.
I've taken to putting a small oven tray over the top to reduce the opening, not very aesthetic but does reduce the draw.

Fabulous plant pots and chiminea which look stunning in our garden. Tom was excellent and we will be ordering some more very soon.
Lovely product and hand delivered by Parkes and Recreation
