For those who find the whole process of lighting charcoal, standing in billowing smoke and waiting for the barbecue to reach the right heat just too time consuming, difficult or daunting, a gas barbecue is the perfect solution.

Increasingly popular to take the chill off summers evenings, chimineas boast the possibility of cooking over the fire in the bottle shaped terracotta body. Some chimineas are adapted for cooking making them far more practical, but retain the traditional terracotta form that is so popular.
Originally, all clay open fire garden heaters imported from Mexico were known as chimneas. As the story goes, chimneas originated hundreds if not thousands of years ago by Mexican tribesmen who developed the chimneas as a means of heating for their family as well as a vessel for cooking in. The original chimnea was designed to keep the rain off the fire and the family warm using merely a couple of sticks.
