Originally, all clay open fire garden heaters imported to the U.S. from Mexico were known as chimeneas. As the story goes, chimeneas originated hundreds if not thousands of years ago by Mexican tribesmen who developed the chimeneas as a means of providing heat for their family as well as a vessel for cooking and baking. The original chimenea was designed to keep the rain off the fire and the family warm using merely a couple of sticks.


Chimineas have become a popular backyard and deck accessory in the U.S., and also in the U.K. where they are often acquired as garden ornaments
My mind wandered and never came back :(

^^ And now that everyone else knows what they are, someone might know if you can get them in Thailand. Though not to keep the family warm, presumably... :shock:
This is the way

He He no not for that, was just looking for it as a bit of a feature and maybe to do a wee bit of cooking on, it also good for burning garden rubbish and keeping the mosquitoes at bay :cheers:
