Cooking on a chiminea
Hello
Does anyone have any advice on how to cook on a chiminere? Also can anyone give any suggestions as to what to cook on there as my parents have recently bought one. Any help would be great. Deborah W B.ham UK |

I'd get a grill basket. The kind that you can enclose meat in and place over a fire. Cook any small meats, fish or vegetables. Larger pieces such as roasts are less practical.

I never even contemplated cooking on one. It's something to think about but we use it for decoration and a little warmth on the patio in the fall and spring.
Things that make you go........Hmmm. I'm very interested in this thread. |

They are basically wood-fired outdoor patio heaters that look like big Hershey Kisses with a 2-foot chimney - and sit on a metal stand. They are made from relatively thin clay - have a semi-lunar opening similar to a Navajo brick oven ... but the material is not designed for cooking - it is designed to get hot and radiate the heat outward. I won't say you can't cook something in one ... remember, our ancestors only had fire, rocks and sticks ... but they are NOT designed for cooking.

Michael, I couldn't find one either and I looked for about 15 minutes, since I don't want to begin working.
 This is ridiculous. There have to be 1000s of pics of this on the net. |

Lol, you are so right, Chef Jimmy. The spelling went right over my head but maybe chiminere is an alternative way to spell it since I saw many sites that described the same patio warmer with that name.
Thanks to Chef Jimmy:  Last edited by Half Baked; 08-30-2006 at 08:11 AM. |
