Chiminea - Aluminum BBQ

The cast aluminum chiminea are a beautiful blend of beauty and functionality. They look too elegant and add to the grace of terrace or wherever placed. Most of the aluminium chimineas features a very intricate design which makes it look classic. Similarly the rain lid is also decorated that seems quite pleasant. It’s one of the major benefits is prevention of fire smouldering which can be caused by inadequate airflow. Another good benefit is smokeless fire, which is not only good for you but also for your neighbours.

Moreover, the chiminea is perfectly safe for the family as fire is enclosed in it. Originally, all clay open fire garden heaters imported to the U.S. from Mexico were known as chimineas. As the story goes, chimineas originated hundreds if not thousands of years ago by Mexican tribesmen who developed the chimineas as a means of providing heat for their family as well as a vessel for cooking and baking. The original chiminea was designed to keep the rain off the fire and the family warm using merely a couple of sticks.
