But if you’re bothered by the smoke, a chiminea might be a better choice because it’s designed to funnel the smoke upward.No matter what your heat source is, think before you light.
You should place fire pits and chimineas at least 10 feet away— and ideally 25 feet away—from any structures, and keep the overhead area clear.Never use a fire pit or chiminea on a deck.
Instead, look for a propane fire pit table that’s designed for use on a deck or patio.And if you want even more flexibility, consider a patio heater.
