Anyone still interested in BGE Chiminea

I was seriously in the market for one and my dealer had had one for a couple years but finally cut the price just to move it - but to someone else. I asked about a special order and about then they fired their office manager who did the ordering. The order never got placed and then BGE dropped it and I never pursued it.

A couple years later I bought one of those metal caldruns with a metal dome screen. Only issue I have never yet ever used it as would just be out in the side yard on the grass. Guess that $100 spent and never used is cheaper than $385 that I also may have not ever used on my wooden deck! 

Hmmm .... I think the price is reasonable.  Brand new, warranty'd, and very limited supply.

Glad it sold.  Now I don't need to debate driving an hour north.

What purpose does a chimenea serve? 

Ambiance

@DMW never owned one.  does it hold any advantages to a tradional fire pit?

Yes.  It matches the eggs.  Cool conversation piece.

It does not give off that much heat, unless your close.

I would bet good money that one of these would keep you far warmer for around $50. 

Warm? Guess so, but I bet most buyers would prefer to sit around a fire and smell and watch the wood embers while roasting marshmallows or whatever's than getting a propane sun burn.

Any chance....if we **** loud and long....that the Mothership would bring them back? Wouldn't mind having one....

Well, they sold one about every year or so. Only when you couldn't get one would people pay for them. The cost of setting up the line to produce then chiminea is not worth it to them. Fwiw, I do think parts are available because there are so few of them in action. New old stock. 

Hell, I'll just go buy one of them there cheap (?) meskin chimichangas and git me some high temp green paint, and git all dat ambeence I want!

So you are that guy. Nice to know. Thanks.

@Hotch I'm hoping the best for UPS transport and delivery of your Chiminea.  I'm kicking myself for not offering to  pick  it up and storing it until you could personally take possession.  

@LetsEat No worries sounds like bgeaddikt no long loads at UPS, so we all should be safe. And I have insured it. So if I get more pieces than I should, I will sell them back to UPS for a small profit.

I have 3 of these.  Two have the cooking grid and one has the chimney.  They are a blast to cook on.  I gave several as Christmas gifts about three years ago when they were still available from BGE.

@GREG Thanks for the pics. Which stand is that? S M L

Good luck! I kicked and tossed every other box while loading at UPS. Fragile meant throw it harder

That's nice.  Not sure why people would do that.

Getting even with the man.

A UPS driver who intentionally ruins the package I've been waiting for deserves a very solid punch to the mouth.  Just sayin.

USPS. Restoring your faith in govt. nice huh. I hope he's kidding.
