BonFeu BonBono Outdoor Fireplace

No. It's a self-contained wood-burning fireplace with its own built-in 12 cm stove pipe, so it vents itself with nothing connected to your house. It stands freestanding on its own legs, and there's no flue installation of any kind.

Yes. It's a standalone outdoor appliance, and the Clean Air Act's smoke control rules only tighten for fires flued into a building - a summerhouse chimney, for example. Burn Ready to Burn certified, or otherwise well-seasoned and properly dried, logs and it's legal to use on any UK postcode, smoke control area or not. Excessive smoke from any fire can still count as a statutory nuisance if it genuinely bothers neighbours, so dry wood matters either way.

Free UK mainland delivery, next working day if you order before 12pm on a weekday. It arrives on a pallet at 13.6kg, 45 × 45cm across. One person can carry it into place without help.

Depends which you choose. Corten Steel arrives raw silver-grey and starts to rust within a few weeks outdoors; the patina matures over roughly 6 to 12 months into a stable, deep rust-brown that doesn't rust through. Black Steel carries a heat-resistant coating that, like the Corten, also weathers and develops a rustic character of its own over time.

The BonBono has a wider 45 × 45cm footprint than the BonTino's 35 × 35cm, at a similar 165cm height, for £5 more - yet it's the lighter of the two at 13.6 kg against 15.3 kg. Both include the same wok ring and lid.

An outdoor fireplace and a fire pit are not interchangeable. The BonBono is the fireplace side of that choice: its built-in stove pipe draws smoke up and away and throws heat forward from one opening, making it a focal point against a wall or at the end of a terrace. A fire pit sits low and open, radiating heat in every direction instead. Choose a fireplace when the seating faces one way and smoke drifting across the table is what you want to avoid.
