Got a bunch of friends coming over on Sunday for a BBQ (I know...), thought we'd get a Chiminea to make things a bit more comfortable.
Given the timescale I'll need to get it from Argos or B&Q (or similar).
Anyone recomend one?
Cheers.
Steel instead of pot as I suspect you don't have the time to do a few heat cycles to stop it cracking..
I'm a fan of the washing machine drum conversions, depends where in the country you are, but numerous ebay sellers and if you are close enough you could collect. Cheaper than a ceramic one which will probably crack if you heat it then it hits freezing over night!
The pot chimineas are a bit crap really, only let heat out of a narrow aperture.
I was much happier with a fire pit device [url= https://www.internetgardener.co.uk/product/fire-pits-and-braziers/hotspot-safety-firepit-and-charcoal-bbq/981?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=google_base&gclid=CJmcw522s8wCFZUW0wodRl0C2g ]pit thing[/url] or a friend has one of those steel chimineas which is open all the way round.

Family Bargains do a large size version for around £60. We got one similar from another retailer and its fantastic. Cast metal version & kicks out an incredible amount of heat.
Our local Aldi had chimineas in yesterday for £25.
have you got a leaf blower?
Cheers guys
Mtb fix - pot or metal ones in Aldi?
mwmlarge - I've just been given a leaf blower, I was wondering what to do with it.... now I know!
Is it really going to make any difference?
BBQ for Sunday!!!!

...I'd see if they did a multi-buy - perhaps 6 or 8 of them so they can form a ring of heat around you and your friends.
I saw the aldi ones last year and was tempted. Was in Dobies yesterday and they have a nice "tulip" firepit for the same price.
"Another sausage, anyone?"

Weather for Sunday actually looks OK* for the south east
*relative to the recent winter-summer-winter-spring-winter-autumn in the space of 30 minutes ****ed up nonsense
Got a metal one from Homebase, plus a new axe from Aldi (I went in for a box of Fruit & Fibre!), so looking forward to a morning of wood chopping tomorrow in preparation of its inaugural flaming!
Would lend you one if anywhere near Yorkshire. I managed to get a bargain on..... Dare I say it...... Gumtree!!!!
I could of sold you a one off that I made-
