Heavy duty Fire Resistant Chiminea Outdoor Fireplace Pad protects and keeps your deck or patio looking new. It is flexible, allowing you to roll it up for easy storage and transportation. Designed to protect the deck or patio from stray embers or ash. The Blue Rooster Company Chiminea Pad is made from heavy woven fiberglass with a durable latex backing. Created specifically for use with our popular large cast aluminum outdoor fireplaces. This fire resistant pad will keep your wood or deck area looking new and is easily moved for quick furniture arrangement. Designed as protection from a stray ember or ash from a wood burning fireplace, the fire resistant pad is not fireproof. It will protect your deck area from a ember or burning log until it can be placed back in the fire. It will not protect your deck from direct heat or intense direct fire. Think of it as a fire suit for your deck. A fire suit will protect you from sparks and flame but does not help in a 1200 degree oven for extended periods... Not recommended for wood burning firepits, cast iron chimineas, short chimineas such as the Garden or Pine. If you are using any other fireplace then a Blue Rooster Company large cast aluminum chiminea or any cast aluminum chiminea we recommend putting a patio block or tile under your outdoor fireplace. The patio block or tile should be thick enough to insulate the pad from continuous heat.
