Chiminea ~ Your Outdoor Fireplace
Beautiful as well as functional, a
chiminea outdoor fireplace is a true work of
art.
Warming the feet as
well as the soul, everyone will take pleasure gathering
around this focal point of your outdoor retreat.
A chimenea
(chim-ih-nee-ah) (also
spelled chiminea ) is a freestanding, front-loading
outdoor fireplace or oven with a vertical smoke vent or
chimney.
Originally developed as a means of
heating, cooking, and baking, the chimenea was specifically designed
to keep the rain off the fire. They have been used for hundreds
if not thousands of years by Mexican tribesmen.
Be careful in
purchasing a clay chiminea. Although popular as a deck accessory,
the ones made of clay are rarely able to withstand the sudden
temperature change during a rainshower which can cause cracking
and flaking.
Cast iron and
aluminum chimeneas are your best option for durable and unique
outdoor fireplaces.
