Chimineas and fire pits offer warmth and ambience
Having a chiminea or fire pit entices people to gather and relax, and it extends the use of your outdoor living space, creating warmth and ambience year-round. And when it comes to woodfired cooking, well, that’s a surefire way to keep guests coming back for more.
Aussie Heatwave Fireplaces specialises in woodfired outdoor heating and cooking products, offering an array of chimineas, fire pits and pizza ovens. “We are a husband-and-wife business that sells premium-quality products that will stand the test of time. What’s more, all of our chimineas are made in Australia — in rural Victoria — and we’re proud to support local industry and manufacturers,” says Andrew Fenton, who runs the business with his wife Liz.
The latest addition to the collection is a marine-grade, cast-aluminium chiminea. “This provides the option of a more modern look with people able to choose the natural light-grey finish or a black high-temperature paint finish,” says Andrew. “Also, the new alloy chiminea, weighing in at 34kg, is one-third the weight of the cast-iron version and radiates 20 per cent more heat.”
In addition to being a woodfired outdoor heater, any Aussie Heatwave chiminea can be easily transformed into a woodfired barbecue or pizza oven — all it takes is the addition of a cooking attachment which you place on top. However you choose to use it, your chiminea can turn your outdoor entertaining space from drab to fab in an instant, and it changes the way you use your alfresco area, making it a much more inviting and versatile space.
As well as having a showroom in the Melbourne suburb of Mulgrave, Aussie Heatwave Fireplaces has a well-stocked online shop. “The benefit of dealing with a company that has a physical showroom is that we hold stock, so we can supply our products immediately,” says Andrew. “Our Melbourne-based customers can come to our showroom and take their chiminea, fire pit or pizza oven home that day and then fire it up that night. For everyone else, we deliver nationwide.
“We are extremely passionate about our products,” adds Andrew. “It’s great to be in a business that brings people joy and encourages social interaction. There really is nothing better than sitting around a fire listening to it crackle and pop, and being mesmerised by the flickering flames.”
Having been in the business for more than 20 years, Andrew and Liz know all there is to know about woodfired heating and cooking, so can offer expert advice as well as friendly service. “We strive to make our customers feel special and to provide a personalised, enjoyable and memorable buying experience,” says Andrew.
