A chimenea is a freestanding front-loading fireplace or oven with a bulbous body and usually a vertical smoke vent or chimney.
History
Originally, all clay open fire garden heaters imported 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 heating for their family as well as a vessel for cooking in. The original chimenea was designed to keep the rain off the fire and the family warm using merely a couple of sticks.
Unfortunately, the chimeneas currently imported are unable to withstand the thermal shock associated with a sudden down pour of rain. Admittedly the chimenea originates in Mexico where there is generally low rainfall and not exceptionally low temperatures and in general produces a radiant glow which is sufficient to keep warm. In Mexico, when the cooking pot or Chimenea cracked and fell apart, they simply scooped some more mud or river clay together and made another.
