About this fire pit

The Apex is a 51 inch tall steel chiminea on a 25 inch triangular base, a modern take on the clay chiminea. It sells for $500 at the maker.

Its tall chimney lifts smoke above seated guests, and the small footprint fits a corner of a patio where a round pit would crowd the space.

  • $500 at the maker
  • 51 in tall chiminea
  • Small triangular base
  • Handcrafted in Connecticut (maker)

Questions people ask before buying

Chiminea or fire pit?

A chiminea throws heat forward and sends smoke up its chimney, so it suits a corner or wall-facing seating area. A round pit warms everyone in a circle.

Does Forever Firepit ship it?

The maker builds each pit to order in 3 to 5 business days and lists local pickup at the Connecticut shop or delivery within 100 miles for its welded pits. Flat-pack models can ship by standard carrier, so confirm delivery for your address on the maker page.

What does the warranty cover?

Forever Firepit lists a lifetime craftsmanship warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship.

Where are Forever Firepit pits made?

Founder Jim Gentile says he builds every pit by hand in his Connecticut shop. We quote the maker's wording and show no Made in USA badge.

Can I order it through Brevley & Sons?

Not directly yet. Use the maker link for current pricing and lead time, or ask us about sizing, fuel and placement.

Who do I order from, and who handles warranty?

You order directly from Forever Firepit, and warranty claims go to Forever Firepit. We help you plan before you order and are here if questions come up after.
