The Panovue Metal chiminea fire pit combines a wood-burning fire pit with a built-in grill, so you get two functions in one unit. Fix the grill in place and cook food while the fire burns below. It works for garden heating, barbecues or simply as an evening feature on the patio.
The square shape and four mesh side panels give a 360° view of the flames from any angle. The well-vented steel mesh lets more heat escape into the room around it while letting you keep an eye on the wood inside.
A mesh spark screen door keeps embers contained and the included fire poker lets you move logs around safely. The unit holds up to 5.4kg of wood and stands on four legs for stability on uneven ground. A removable ash pan makes clean-up straightforward.
The fire pit holds up to 5.4kg of wood at a time. This gives a decent burn time for an evening without needing to reload constantly. Adding wood beyond this weight is not recommended as it may affect stability and airflow through the mesh panels.
Yes. The pit comes with a grill grate that fixes to the top of the fire chamber. You can control flame size to either barbecue food directly or keep it warm over a lower heat. This makes it useful for both cooking and simple garden heating in one unit.
The unit weighs around 17kg. This weight helps keep it stable outdoors but does make it awkward for one person to move alone over longer distances. Two people lifting together is the easier option if you need to reposition it.
According to Panovue and customer reviews, assembly is straightforward. Reviewers describe the process as "easy" and even "enjoyable," with the pit going together without special tools beyond what's included in the package.
The pit measures 79cm wide by 114.3cm tall, with a depth of 57.4cm. Its square shape and height mean it takes up a reasonable footprint, so measure your patio or garden space before ordering to make sure it fits comfortably with room around it for seating.
Yes. The mesh spark screen door and side panels are designed specifically to contain sparks and embers within the fire chamber. This adds a layer of safety when using the pit near decking, dry grass or seating areas, though normal fire safety precautions still apply.
The metal body has a high-temperature powder coating that resists rust. This helps the pit withstand rain and damp conditions typical of the UK climate, though leaving it outdoors uncovered for extended periods will still shorten its lifespan compared with using a cover during heavy rain or winter storage.
The fire pit has a removable ash pan at the base. Once the fire is fully out and cool, you can lift the pan out and tip the ash into a bin or garden compost, rather than scooping it out by hand or tipping the whole unit.
