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.
Chimineas have become a popular backyard and deck accessory throughout the U.S. FirePitUSA.com carries a huge selection of chimineas sure to enhance your outdoor entertainment.
