In terms of heat, a chiminea tall won't be as efficient as a fire pit. This is due to the fact that it only emits heat from one direction. Fire pits, on the contrary, are open to all sides and can distribute heat evenly across the larger area.

Design

Unlike the more open design of a fire pit, Chimineas have a hooded top that provides 360deg protection for your merrily burning fire. A hood helps reduce smoke and ash levels while protecting furniture from heat damage.

The rounded bottom of this chiminea, which is enclosed by a 360-degree screen increases the heat and allows people to enjoy a comfortable seat on the deck without getting smoked out. The tall chimney focuses the smoke upwards, reducing the chance of smoke blowing over your neighbors or harming your outdoor space.

You should place sand or gravel at the base of both a fire pit as well as the chiminea to keep it from burning or releasing excessive quantities of smoke. However the chiminea requires that you clean its interior chamber thoroughly. Once you're ready for starting the fire, make sure to wash out any remaining sand or gravel, and then add some kindling and logs prior to lighting the fire.
