Care Instructions

Your Chimenea is a patio fireplace and should be placed in a safe area outside.  If used on a covered patio, be sure there is appropriate ceiling clearance.  Your Chimenea has been coated with a weather sealer. After numerous burnings, soot and resin build-up will seal the inside of the Chimenea.  It is suggested to bring the Chimenea indoors during severe freezes.  If your Chimenea is in an uncovered area, place a plate or cover on the top of it to keep the rainwater from building up in the bowl.  Do not fire your Chimenea wet.

First Time Use:  Place Chimenea on stand. Placing Chimenea on ground may cause it to absorb moisture.  Put 2-3 inches of sand and/or river rock (available at your local home store) into the bottom of the bowl.  Chimeneas must be cured by firing for one hour at a low heat using 3-4 pieces of wood.  Let the fire burn out, and repeat the same procedure on second firing.  With proper care, your Chimenea is now ready to provide you with years of pleasure.  The sand/river rock and ash mix will have to be changed periodically based on use.

Important:  Your Chimenea is a fireplace and should only be fired outside.  Alternatively, you may enjoy it as a wonderful decorative piece for indoor use with a large 2-3 wicked candle.

Please use caution when burning

Enjoy Your Chimenea!
