The Original Medusa Red Chimenea is made to a very high
Specification by hand in a traditional way in Mexico. Because the Original Medusa Colima Red Chimeneas are made by hand they are all unique & this add to the overall finish & feel of the product.
The Chimenea itself is finished with a smooth feel which creates a soft clay to touch. Each of the Chimeneas within the Original Mexican Colima Red range come with a lid which should be placed on top of the Chiminea when it is not in use to stop any rain water entering. As soon as the Chimenea is in use you should remove the lid so the smoke can escape through the flume.
The Original Mexican Colima Red Chimenea comes with a Steel frame 3 legged stand which helps raise the Chimenea of the ground.
All Chimeneas should be covered when not in use to help protect the Clay & stop any deterioration which may be caused by adverse weather. As some deterioration is inevitable we also suggest the clear Chimseal solution is applied regularly to maintain the original look of the clay colour. The Chimseal will also help to stop cracks appearing on the Chimenea. Please see the recommended covers & care products in the related products shown to the right of this page.
We do not recommend you use coal as a fuel in clay chimeneas as it burns too hot & can cause the clay to crack. We do however recommend that you use log fuel to heat your Chimenea as this burns hot but will not cause the clay to crack. Please see the recommended fuel
