BGE Chiminea Stand

Safecracker1960

just picked up a NIB BGE Chiminea but it was missing the original base. I know a lot of people use LBGE nest and I probably will also. But I would like to have a base also so if anyone might have one I am interested or if someone could give me the exact specs I will build one.

Sweet. Pretty sure the one I have is on a medium stand, which does well, with a spacer. Would love to find an original stand myself, just for originality. As others said, nice score.

I didn't realize that was your first post. 

Welcome to the forum -  A unicorn in the first post is a strong move!

Any luck on finding a base? I wouldn’t mind having one of shorter low profile ones as well.  Hoping this was an easy find. Lol

No luck finding a base yet. Is there anyone who has one that could give me the specs so I could make one.

There is really not much to the stand.
You should be able to spec it from a photo and your chiminea.
Just give the ring some wiggle room for ceramic expansion.
Would also help to include your location. Might be a local who does not answer because he does not want to mess with shipping.
But it should be an easy build.

What do you do with one of those? Honest question.

I’ll sell you mine for

Anyone else have or seen someone with a tall version of the stand? When I got mine the original owners said that’s how they got it from the mothership.

Could have been a one of a kind or very limited run. But I would not want to have a raise one.
But anyone looking might want to check pot stands.

I agree. I have my Chiminea in a medium nest. I worry about the dogs knocking it over and destroying it.

That would be devastating!

Okay...gotta ask...what one of those bad boys cost?

If you can find one I've seen them go for $250-$800. I got mine in the $200's.

Anyone have an original stand laying around? Figured I’d check in lol

That's pretty cool @Safecracker1960.  What's the backstory?

Check with your local retailer and have them check with their distributor. There used to be some new old stock for those things. They were not a big seller until you couldn’t buy them.

I have one somewhere that I used to use for my mini. Let me see if I can find it.

loco_engr

seeing this post made me think of a post about a foaming Chiminea post from 2010, never did see the back story on what happened
Will start a new thread
