Chimenea

Mexican tribes were the first to use chimeneas to cook with and keep their homes warm. Chimeneas combine the function of an outdoor fireplace and a BBQ. Cast Iron and clay are some of the materials used to make chimeneas and both are available in several colours.

Fire Bowl

A Fire Bowl can be made of clay, metal or cast iron. A fire bowl radiates heat to keep people warm at outdoor functions such as BBQs. They can also be portable if made of metal and can be taken on a picnic outing or to the beach. The Gardeco Lucia Portable Metal Fire Bowl comes with a useful portable carry bag with handles.

Fire Bowls

Our Fire Bowls are of Mexican design inspired by Mayan Art. They are made of clay which becomes hot and then radiates the heat outwards. We have two models of clay fire bowls. Both of similar appearance the Gardeco Ojo Maya is made from yellow clay and the Gardeco Naguales is made from red clay. As well as being very practical in terms of heat on a cool evening or for cooking they are attractive garden ornaments in their own right. Both are positioned on metal stands for a better view of the fire.

Cast Iron chimeneas are a more permanent fixture in the garden unlike clay ones which can be moved around fairly easily. Also available in different sizes their prime function is for cooking and heating an area around where people can gather in dine in comfort. For an added aesthetic dimension the Gardeco Calenta model has a mosaic tiled outer rim. In recent years cast iron chimeneas have been very popular often having been featured in TV garden design programmes. If you have a contemporary garden with a large patio area the sleek appearance of the Gardeco Toledo Chimenea which comes in medium and large sizes would be our recommendation.

Garden chimenea

Garden Chimeneas make great additions to any garden and will provide years of enjoyment and reliable use. Smaller versions are perfect for balconies but the size, shape and material of a garden chimenea is down to one's own personal taste.
Garden Chimeneas are built to last. Here is a photograph of our own eight year old Gardeco Naguales Chimenea taken in February 2012 having been left outside since new.
