Product Information

Full details

This extra-large cast iron chimenea from Gardeco is designed for homeowners seeking to enhance their outdoor spaces with both ambiance and functional cooking capabilities. Its primary benefit is the dual-purpose design, offering a beautiful focal point for gatherings and a versatile grill for outdoor cooking. A key consideration is that, like all metal chimeneas, it is susceptible to rust, which can be managed with proper care. Key features include its robust 100% cast iron construction, a practical swivel BBQ grill, a hinged door for fire control, an opening air vent, and a supplied lid for rain protection.

Troubleshooting

Chimenea is difficult to assemble

Ensure you have all parts laid out and refer closely to the included assembly instructions. If parts seem misaligned, double-check the steps and ensure no pieces are overtightened prematurely.

Poor airflow for the fire

Open the air vent fully. Ensure the fuel is not packed too densely and that the ash pan is clear of excessive ash, which can obstruct airflow.

Rust appears on the surface

This is normal for cast iron. Clean the rusted area with a wire brush, then apply a high-temperature paint or a protective coating suitable for cast iron to prevent further corrosion. Rust does not affect usability.

Grill is not stable when swiveling

Check that the grill mechanism is properly seated and secured according to the assembly instructions. Ensure no debris is obstructing its movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Assembly is required upon delivery. The chimenea comes with clear instructions to guide you through the process. Typically, this involves attaching the decorative legs to the main body and ensuring all parts are securely fastened.

Compatibility:

This chimenea is designed to burn any type of fuel, including wood and charcoal, offering flexibility for both ambiance and cooking. It is suitable for use on patios, gardens, and other outdoor spaces.

Care:

Rust Management: As metal chimeneas will rust over time, especially when exposed to the elements, regular care is essential. After use and once cool, wipe down the exterior. Consider applying a high-temperature stove paint or a protective oil if rust becomes significant. Rust does not typically affect the chimenea's functionality.
Cleaning: Clean out ash and debris after each use once the chimenea has cooled down. The interior can be brushed, and the exterior can be wiped with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
Storage: During prolonged periods of non-use or harsh weather, consider covering the chimenea or storing it in a dry place to minimize rust formation. The included lid helps protect the top opening.
