About this product

Inspired by the iconic fireplaces of the 1960s and shaped by our Southwest roots, our team designed Totem to reimagine the traditional fireplace in a clean, modern silhouette for the outdoors. Its steel enclosure contains the wood-burning flame, directing smoke upward while radiating heat outward to warm the space around it. Available in four bold colors.

Outdoor living, simplified.

Porcelain-Enamel Finish

Glass fused to steel for exceptional durability. Resists blistering, peeling,  fading, and extreme heat—season after season.

Designed for a Cleaner Burn

An elevated kindling platform improves airflow for hotter, more efficient fires with less excess smoke.

Level Up, Anywhere

Stainless steel levelers provide stability across a range of outdoor surfaces.

Easy Cleanup

All in the details

Why you’ll love it

Every curve, finish, and detail was designed by our team with purpose. Here’s why Totem stands on its own.

In every light

Porcelain enamel brings bold, confident color that stands out in daylight and glows after dark.

Fire, as intended

Totem is built for real wood and open flame. Flame that breathes, smoke that lifts, warmth that unfolds—and the scent of wood fire that settles into the night. A tradition that never needed updating.

Built like it belongs

Its organic silhouette carries real architectural weight. Sculptural in form, but grounded in purpose—Totem feels built in, even when it stands alone.

Frequently asked questions

Totem combines the vertical flue design of a traditional chiminea with a clean, sculptural silhouette and porcelain-enamel finish. The result is a wood-burning outdoor fireplace that feels architectural, not rustic.

Totem ships in several components for safe transport. Assembly is straightforward and requires minimal hardware. Detailed instructions are included.

Totem’s porcelain-enamel finish is built for outdoor durability. That said, no metal product is entirely unaffected by salt air and coastal exposure. For homes near the ocean, regular rinsing with fresh water and routine care will help maintain the finish over time.

For the best performance, use dry, seasoned hardwood such as oak or maple. Avoid treated wood, softwoods with high sap content, or construction scraps.

A chiminea is a freestanding outdoor fireplace designed to burn wood while directing smoke upward through a vertical flue. Unlike open fire pits, a wood-burning chiminea like Totem contains the flame and helps manage heat and airflow more efficiently.

Yes. Totem is a modern wood-burning outdoor fireplace designed for real logs and open flame. It does not use propane or natural gas.

Totem is designed with an elevated kindling platform that improves airflow for a hotter, more efficient burn. Like all wood-burning fireplaces, some smoke is natural, but proper airflow and dry hardwood help minimize excess smoke.

Totem includes a removable ash pan with a basin hole and a plug for easy cleanup. After the fire has fully cooled, remove the ash pan and dispose of the ashes safely. Routine cleaning can be done with mild soap and water on the exterior porcelain enamel surface.

Totem can be used on most outdoor patios and decks, but placement should follow local fire safety codes. Always ensure 4 feet of clearance from combustible structures and 10 feet from buildings and structures. We recommend placing it on a fire-resistant surface.
