Things set to heat up at Mudgee Field Days

Aussie Heatwave outdoor fireplaces have been the popular choice for a roaring fire andwoodfire cooking across Australia and at last they are bringing themto the Mudgee Small Farm Field Days so visitors can see, feel, and even taste how good they really are.

Everyone is drawn to fire, especially during the colder months. Having a chiminea extends the use of your outdoor living space, creating warmth and ambience all year round. It entices people to gather, relax, and socialise, and when it comes to woodfired cooking it's a sure way to keep family and friends coming back formore.

Andrew and Liz Fenton of Aussie Heatwave Fireplaces started making Australian backyards warmer years ago by introducing us to the joys couple discovered Mexican clay chimineas and decided to bring them to Australia, however they soon discovered that the Mexican version did not always handle Australian conditions well or the rough treatment they sometimes encountered, As a result, they set about making a superior version and the solid cast iron Aussie Heatwave was born.

The Aussie Heatwave chiminea is made from thick, premium- quality cast iron using a single piece casting. Andrew said there were no joins or welds, moving parts or air vents, and no grates either commonly found with inferior versions. "The real benefits are that they radiate much more heat over a wider area, are virtually indestructible, and are totally pyromaniac proof.

"They also look visually stunning in any outdoor setting and are the only chimineas that are designed for safe use on timber decks as the legs and base don't get hot," he said. "The quality is unsurpassed and they can even come on wheels making it easy tomove around."

Andrew said that the best part is that the Aussie Heatwave chimineas also have an optional Barbecue and Pizza Oven attachment. "By simply placing it on top of the chimney of any Aussie Heatwave, you can easily have a fabulous wood-fired barbecue or oven.

"It barbecues, roasts and cooks pizzas to perfection and is guaranteed to satisfy the expectations of all barbecue lovers," he said. "The Aussie Heatwave really is 'must have' item for anyone who enjoys outdoor living, be it for great cooking or just keeping warm all year round."
