Using a chimenea to create a warm and inviting outdoor space is a fantastic idea. However, it's crucial to light it correctly to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to light your chimenea using the top-down method.
1. Gather Your Supplies
Flaming Firewood
Our premium line's offcuts are ideal for chimeneas. The mixed shapes and sizes help ignite the fire quickly, and they are cheaper because they are offcuts. Additionally, kiln-dried Flaming Firewood produces less smoke and generates excellent heat.

2. Stack 'Em Up
Light Your Chimenea Using the Top-Down Method
- Place the logs: Arrange two Flaming Firewood logs on the grate, ensuring they are spread apart.
- Position the KindleFlamer: Place a KindleFlamer along the ridge in the middle of the logs.
- Add a small log: Place a small Flaming Firewood log diagonally on top of the KindleFlamer.
