Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Placement: Always place your chimenea on a flat, stable, and non-flammable surface, such as paving stones or a concrete patio.
- Fuel: Use dry, seasoned firewood or appropriate fire logs. Avoid using softwoods, which can produce excessive smoke and soot.
- Lighting: Use firelighters or kindling to start the fire. Gradually add larger pieces of wood as the fire establishes.
- Airflow: Ensure adequate airflow by not overfilling the chimenea with wood. This will help maintain a clean and efficient burn.
- Cleaning: Allow the chimenea to cool completely before cleaning. Use a soft brush to remove any ash or debris. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the clay.
- Protection: Cover the chimenea with the included lid when not in use to protect it from the elements. Consider using a chimenea cover for additional protection during the off-season.
