Historically, chimeneas originated from the Southern Highlands of Mexico as cooking pots for food such as Mexican flatbread tortillas. Clay was dug from the riverbed and moulded by hand into crude pots before being fired in simple wood fuelled kilns.This style of cooking and the feeling of keeping warm around a campfire inspired the use of these clay pots as chimeneas. They developed into pots with longer necks and a stand to raise them off the ground.La Hacienda clay chimeneas are still being made in the same region of Mexico as they have been for centuries, drawing on generations of experience of working with clay. They are handmade so each one is unique.The clay walls retain warmth and produce a consistent radiating wall of heat.
