The Chimenea is designed to efficiently use the minimum amount of fuel to get the
maximum amount of radiant heat. Each size Chimenea has been made with a
specific ratio between the area of the mouth opening and the diameter of the flue.
With the right size fire the Chimenea will draft correctly with minimal smoking and
optimum heat output; at the same time as conserving your fuel.
• The fire should be kept to a size
which fills the visible area of the fire
chamber mouth, and the flames are
below the internal base of the
Chimney.
• Once the fire is underway the use of
recommended dry fuels as described
in these instructions will result in
smoke free operation under items
like pergolas or verandas.
• Adding extra fuel to furnace the
Chimenea will not necessarily give
better performance.
• The fire heats the walls of the
Chimenea, which then radiates heat
to the surrounding area.
BE PATIENT AND ALLOW THE
WALLS TO HEAT.
