Large Yellow Azteca Mexican Chimenea

Large Azteca clay chimenea in red and green, comes with a lid and a steel stand.

Firing

Clay chimeneas have a great burning function, this model can be used as an incinerator as well as a BBQ. The main purpose of the chimenea is to burn wood efficiently as a result it leaves hardly any ash.

When first starting to use the chimenea, take the lid off and have a small fire. This strengthens the clay because it becomes used to the heat. When fired the clay absorbs the heat and retains it, acting as a radiator thus if a big fire is used when first starting off then there is a bigger likelihood of cracking appearing. This means do not have a roaring fire!

Assembly

There is no assembly for these products, simply place the chimenea onto the stand.

Weathering

We recommend that chimeneas are covered when not in use to protect from the weather, this is not as necessary when it rains although it is harder to get a fire going when the clay is damp/ wet. It is necessary to cover it up during winter as if the clay becomes too cold i.e covered in frost/ snow it can cause the clay to begin to crack, which can expand once exposed to water getting in and freezing causing severe instability in the structure of the chimenea.

Instructions

All chimeneas come with user instructions explaining how to use it and which fuels are compatible with chimeneas.
