Historically, chimeneas originated from the Southern Highlands of Mexico as cooking pots for food such as Mexican flatbread
tortillas. Clay was dug from the riverbed and moulded by hand into crude pots before being fired in simple wood-fulled kilns.
This style of cooking and the feeling of keeping warm around a campfire inspired the use of these clay pots as
chimeneas. They developed into pots with longer necks and a stand to raise them off the ground.
Our clay chimeneas are still being made in the same region of Mexico as they have been for centuries...
This Chimenea not only has an authentic look, it's finished in a yellow effect with a stunning grape design. This adds the Mexican feel and captures the essence of the ancient Maya and Aztec culture. The Chimenea has many good qualities. A few of these are heating up a chilled atmosphere and cooking tasty food as a BBQ.
A pleasure to be showed off to guests!...
