Chimineas For Sale

Fun fires with family and friends can be made with an chiminea, which is an old-fashioned outdoor fireplace. However, these aren't squeaky clean pieces of art for the yard and regular maintenance is vital to their long life.

Chimineas can be operated more secure than open flame fire pits because they move smoke upwards and away from people who are enjoying the fire. They also burn cleaner than fire pits that burn wood.

Clay chimineas and fire pits

A chimenea made of clay emits warm, clean flame that is enjoyable all year round in your garden or patio. It transforms your outdoor space into an enchanting room where you can gather with friends and family for meals, casual conversations, special occasions, and even have a blast of fun regardless of the weather.

Clay chimeneas are produced by small factories in Mexico where they are fired in kilns at extremely high temperatures to eliminate organic matter and water leaving the raw porous clay material. The clay is then glazed, and sealed with a waterproof seal which decreases the chance of cracking.

Chimineas can be used for cooking a range of fish, meat, and vegetable dishes that are delicious when cooked on a non-stick flame. It is also possible to use them to cook aromatic woods, such as yew or oak, which release wonderful natural scents as they burn. Chimineas can also be an attractive decorative feature that can be incorporated into any outdoor decor.

It needs a bit more maintenance than a chiminea that burns wood since you'll need to refuel frequently.
