La Hacienda Parton 2 Piece Clay Chimenea with Cooking Grill, small - Terracotta

only bought in april started to crack early may despite correct seasoning by mid may fell apart in two pieces.tried to return but returns window shut 3rd May so stuck with it now and only lasted 1 month (4 fires!) my old one which was much cheaper lasted 7 years complete waste of £84!!!

The product cracked after 3 uses despite having followed the instructions. I cured it as instructed, I kept it covered with the la hacienda cover and it cracked. Amazon only seem to allow you to return it if its unused. Dont buy this chiminea, it's a total waste of £80!

WE cured the chimenea as per the instructions and followed the guidance regarding size of fires but ir cracked anyway. Very disappointing. I cannot see a way to get a refund, we only used it a few times.

Followed all recommendations on cuering the pot . Started heat off low and built it up over a few uses but still the pot cracked. The pot looks great and works well but still cracking after less that a month is not unacceptable.

I was a little dubious of this product as some reviews mentioned issues with cracking after a short period of use.But, I have to say that this Chiminea is a great asset to our garden. The kids love sitting round it on a winters eve.I would recommend this product to anyone. One thing I will add, make sure you seal the Chiminea before any use. You don't need to buy thd exceptionally recommended sealant as you only get 1lt ££21. I purchased Thompsons water seal for the same price, but I got 5 liters.

We bought this as a Christmas present. Because of the cold weather, we have only just started using it. We followed all the instructions about curing it three times, but on the time after we did that, the top cracked. Amazon has told us we are out of time to return it. La Hacienda, the makers won't help us and say our contract is with Amazon. Would not recommend it at all.

Works well, good airflow so easy to light and not too smoky. Carefully follow the instructions to avoid cracking

Rubbish!! Cured the chimney as recommended and still cracked even after the seller changed the previous one.... Don't recommend at all.. Very nice looking but terrible poor quality.
