Chimenea, Chiminea or Chimnea

The correct English spelling is chimenea and is pronounced chim-ih-nee-ah. The correct definition is a free standing front loading fireplace or oven with a bulbous body and usually a vertical smoke vent or chimney.

Common misspellings are chiminea and chimnea. You may find these spellings on this page to aid customers searching using the incorrect spelling.

Cast Iron Chimnea

Mexican Origin

Chimenea originated from Mexico many hundreds of years ago and were traditionally made from clay. They were used as both a source of heat and also a means to cook or bake. Although clay is still popular there are now cast iron and steel alternatives available now.

Clay, Cast Iron or Steel Chimnea

Cast iron chiminea and steel chiminea are much more durable than the clay versions. Special care must be taken with the clay models during the first use and then during periods of frost. Clay models can also crack and crumble if subjected to rapid change of temperature. This can occur when starting a fire on a cold day or a cold down poor of rain on a glowing fire.

Cast iron and steel chimnea will rust very quickly. Even after the first rain fall. This is usual and in many cases it is a desirable effect. Although they are painted with heat resistant paint it often can’t cope with the heat generated and will burn off quickly.
