A chiminea is an outdoor stove, typically with a potbelly shape and a chimney. Chimineas originated in Mexico several hundred years ago, where they were often decorated with a colourful ceramic glaze and Mexican-inspired motifs. Chimineas are available in cast iron and cast aluminium, and terracotta clay, and are sold at garden stores and home improvement centres.

Everyone loves to sit around a fire, and a chiminea can provide an attractive, outdoor gathering spot in your backyard or patio, while its warmth can help you extend the months that you use your outdoor living spaces.
