FAQs
Can I use this chimenea on a wooden deck?
It is not recommended to place the chimenea directly on a wooden deck as the heat can cause damage. Always place it on a non-combustible surface like stone, concrete, or a fire-resistant mat.
What type of fuel is best for this model?
Small, dry logs, untreated wood, or wood briquettes provide the best performance and cleanest burn.
Does the chimenea come with a cover?
The product includes the chimenea body, a flue cap, a grate, and a safety tool. A weather cover is typically sold separately.
How do I clean the interior?
Wait until the unit is cold. Remove the ash using the provided safety tool or a small brush and dispose of ash in a metal container.
Can I leave the chimenea out in the rain?
While it is made for outdoor use, leaving it exposed to rain will increase the likelihood of rust. A cover is highly recommended.
Troubleshooting
Fire is difficult to light or keep burning
Ensure the wood is fully dry/seasoned and that there is enough air gap beneath the logs on the grate.
Visible rust spots appearing on the exterior
Lightly sand the affected area and apply a touch-up of high-temperature heat-resistant black paint.
Unit feels unstable on the patio
Check that all three legs are level and the mounting bolts are tightened; consider using a flat paving slab if the ground is uneven.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly
The chimenea arrives with all necessary components. Ensure the base legs are tightened securely to the firebowl during assembly to maintain total stability.
Compatibility
This unit is designed to burn untreated wood, dry logs, or wood briquettes. Do not use accelerants like gasoline or spirit to start the fire, as this can damage the paint finish and pose a safety risk.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Once the unit is completely cool, remove the cold ash from the grate using a brush or ash scoop.
- Protection: Use a weatherproof cover when the chimenea is not in use to prevent the accumulation of moisture and reduce the risk of rust.
- Surface Care: If the paint begins to fade or scratch, use high-temperature spray paint specifically designed for outdoor fire pits to touch up the finish.
