The Kamino is 1.8 metres of solid Danish cast iron, poured at the Morsø foundry in Nykøbing Mors — the same foundry that's been making cast iron stoves since 1853. It is an outdoor fireplace built around a single, unfashionable conviction: that the right material, in the right shape, doesn't need much else.

The shape is the upright column. It's tall enough to be seen from across the lawn, narrow enough to fit on a patio, and finished in Morsø's matte senotherm coating that weathers gracefully through years of rain and sun. Cast iron holds heat in a way steel never quite does — it warms slowly, then radiates for hours after the fire has died down. The Kamino is mobile and rotatable, so you turn it into the wind, and the shoulder seasons grow a month at each end.

It burns wood, briquettes, or coal — it isn't fussy about which. Add the optional Tuscan Grill accessory and the same column becomes a cooking station too: steak, fish, vegetables, all over live coals. It weighs ninety-three kilograms, which sounds like a lot until you remember it never has to be locked up.

For a piece this honest, the installation is as simple as it should be: choose where it lives, light it, and let 170 years of Danish foundry craft do the rest.

A small note: outdoor wood-burning appliances are subject to local bylaws and seasonal fire restrictions, which vary by municipality. Ask us about your area.
