{"product_id":"gardeco-azteca-mexican-clay-chiminea","title":"Gardeco Azteca Mexican Clay Chiminea with Stand and Lid","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gardeco Azteca is a traditional Mexican chiminea, hand-made and hand-painted in Mexico with the classic Azteca pattern moulded into the body and funnel. Mexican chimineas are easy to light and burn wood efficiently: the clay soaks up the heat and radiates it, so you don't need a roaring fire to keep warm. It arrives ready to use on its steel stand, with a matching clay lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose the Gardeco Azteca\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in Mexico:\u003c\/strong\u003e moulded and painted by hand, so each one varies slightly in shape and colour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e with the classic Azteca pattern moulded into the body and funnel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReady to use:\u003c\/strong\u003e steel stand and clay lid included, with nothing to assemble.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEfficient wood burner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gardeco says it leaves hardly any ash.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoice of sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large 110cm tall, Extra large 125cm tall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWill it suit your space?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe large stands 110cm tall and 45cm across, the extra large stands 125cm tall and 55cm across, including the stand.
