“Walmart knocked it out of the park with this,” Hannah from @hannah.is.home on TikTok wrote in a recent video about the chiminea, adding in the caption, “The copper details gave me the heart eyes.” In the video, Hannah assembles the fire piece in just five (seemingly simple) steps and instantly elevates her patio.
After Hannah shared the video, people were quick to purchase the chiminea. “Bought it IMMEDIATELY! Only $97,” one person commented on Hannah’s post. Another said, “I’ve just been influenced! Just purchased mine.”
The Better Homes & Gardens Wood-Burning Copper Chiminea Is Gorgeous
On sale for under $100, the Better Homes & Gardens Wood-Burning Copper Chiminea is a gorgeous hammered firepit that comes with an iron base, a mesh spark shield, two wood grates, and a protective cover to keep it dry and away from the elements. Reviewers say it’s easy to assemble in about 10 minutes and burns great.
Because this chiminea is made of copper, it will likely develop a patina over time. That means this shiny copper finish will presumably start to turn green and weather when exposed to the elements and high-heat temperatures (think of a penny or the Statue of Liberty). You can polish the copper back to its shiny state, but there’s also something extraordinary about verdigris doing its thing.
Some reviewers note that they sprayed the chiminea with copper-colored spray paint on the copper areas before burning, which seems to help the piece stay shiny.
A similar copper chiminea is available on Amazon for just over $150. Because this version is made with copper-colored steel rather than actual copper, it will likely keep its color a bit longer than the Walmart version.
Grab one of these copper firepits, and it will become the hero piece of your patio space. You’ll enjoy it every single night!
