Goodbye summer, goodbye late summer heatwave, hello autumn. But there’s no need to huddle indoors. These three best seller chimeneas are hot property, exactly what you need to heat the outdoors safely, effectively and beautifully.
Set a small, neat fire inside one of these, gradually let the clay get hot, and it won’t be long before the thick body is acting like a big, fat radiator, sending heat 360 degrees into the surroundings. Whether you stand in front of the mouth, to the side or behind your chimenea, it’ll keep you cosy.
These three popular chimeneas are ideal if you like to enjoy fresh air all year round, enjoy your morning cuppa in the fresh air through every season, even the worst of winter, and need somewhere to rest and warm your hands in between those wintery garden tasks.
Magnificent best seller chimeneas – The large Azteca

Also available in medium or extra large, the Azteca‘s natural yellow finish is really lovely, complete with its toning Aztec and Mayan-inspired patterns in a darker colour. Like every genuine Mexican chimenea this one has a good, strong draw which means the fire starts quickly and burns well. It also burns nice and clean, with minimal ash and sparks.
A three legged steel stand keeps it stable on wobbly ground and the matching rain-lid keeps it dry inside when you’re not using it. It stands an impressive 110cm high and is 45cm wide at the widest point, weighing in at a manageable 25 kilos. Add a separate BBQ grill and it transforms into a simple, effective BBQ. Last but not least yours will be unique simply because every one is made by hand, by experts, in Mexico.
The stunning XL Olas Mexican Chiminea in Blue-Grey
A cool grey-blue rustic finish with a waves-inspired pattern is the name of the game with this, the dramatic Olas Mexican Chimenea in blue-grey. ‘Olas’ is Spanish for waves, which you can see included in the design, giving the body a beautiful, cool ocean-inspired finish.
Like all of our Mexican clay chimeneas it offers great performance, a lovely look, and no assembly. Just pop it onto the stand. This one stands 125cm high and is 50cm wide at the broadest point of the belly, so it’ll probably take two of you to lift.
The colour scheme gives this model a contemporary edge, suiting all sorts of garden styles from flowery and lush to sleek and minimal. It weighs around 30kg so, like the first model we’ve featured, you’ll probably need two of you to lift it onto the stand.
Colima XL Mexican Chimenea in natural terracotta
The XL Colima chimenea is an absolute classic. All Mexican clay chimeneas are made from terra cotta clay, the red clay used to make the clay plant pots everyone love so much. This big, heavy, impressive model has a natural terra cotta finish, plain and gorgeous. The main attraction is the unmistakeable orange-red earthenware clay colour that looks so good in every garden.
Because of its simplicity and classic design this beautiful big chim also goes perfectly in any style of garden, and like all our Mexican clay models it’s seriously efficient. Also like every other clay chimenea, it only needs a small fire to heat the body up. A large fire can leave you with heat stress cracks and there’s really no need. The fire itself isn’t the secret – it’s the clay body that absorbs the heat and creates ab oasis of radiator-like heat around itself.
So which of our best seller chimeneas do you fancy most? They all come with free delivery and they’ll be at your place in no time.
