Colima Large Mexican Chimenea in Red

Large colima red chimenea in a rustic red colour, comes with a matching clay 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. Thus acting as a radiator, when a big fire is used when first starting off there is a bigger likelihood of cracking appearing on the clay. This means do not have a roaring fire!

Pattern

The design of the large Colima red chimenea: Red with no patterning nor other designs. So is a plain chimenea.

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. Covering is not as necessary when it rains although it becomes harder to get a fire going when the clay is damp/ wet.  It is necessary to cover chimeneas during winter as when the clay becomes too cold i.e covered in frost/ snow the clay can to begin to crack. Cracks can expand once exposed to water getting in and freezing causing severe instability in the structure of the chimenea.

Instructions

All chimeneas come with instructions on how to use it and what to use in order to fire it. As not all lighting fuels are compatible with chimeneas.
