Hope I spelled that right.
Mr Toad just delivered my new fancy outdoors heater. Question of the day is what do you put in the bottom of the Chiminea to buffer the heat? Sand--pebbles--????

The Colonel,
I put a little sand in the bottom of mine. BGE said it wasn`t necessary but I figured it certainly can`t hurt anythinig..[p]Wess

WessB, Thanks for the information. I'll go out and get some pretty white sand and go for it.

The Colonel,
Sorry, no pics, but I fashioned one w/ an off-the-shelf grill, cut in half to facilitate installation, & then wired back together inside...doesn't need support as it has interference fit w/ tapered walls of the Chiminea....no need for sand underneath, but it doesn't hurt...good luck...

The Colonel,
I use a 12 inch cast iron floor drain cover from home depot. They come with little feet that keep that fire off the floor and increases air flow for better burning. I think that they run around ten dollars.[p]Hope this Helps,

The Colonel,
LOL - but why would you choose "pretty white sand"? Do you plan to sort the black ash out of the white sand from time to time?

I use sand. But I like the drain idea. I'm gonna give that a try.

RRP, Being retired military I like to do things like that, It's not fun being so anal but so be it. By the way Mr Toad, you offered a pumpkin beer and then left with it in your ice chest. The ole bait and switch at its best.
