Waffle iron info
This Gardeco waffle iron is similar to the 19th century waffle irons used over real fires. Its cast iron shell structure is traditional and easy to use. Long handles for easy reach over the fire also prevent your hands from getting burnt.
To make waffles, use ready made paste or the recipe located on the product packaging. Done in minutes over an open fire. Simply oil or butter the inside of the waffle iron, pour waffle mix to the upper level of the iron, clamp shut, lock and place over the fire. Turn the iron over a couple of times.
Waffles are ready when light brown. Simply empty the iron over a plate. Delicious with icing sugar alone or serve with jam, cream or any other accompaniment of your choice. Fantastic!
Features:
- The waffle mold is made out of cast iron (which becomes very hot)
- The long handle prevents you from burning yourself by getting too close to the fire
- The wooden grip is shaped so it is comfortable and stable to hold

Cooking iron info
This Gardeco long-handled shell-shaped cast iron cooking tool is designed to cook any food inside a real fire with minimal smoke effect on the taste of the food.
Food is placed inside the cast iron shell and the iron is then clamped shut and placed directly into the fire. The cast iron heats up and cooks the food inside. It is ready in a matter of minutes. Any food used for barbecues can be cooked. Many other types of food work well too.
Cooking irons can also be used to heat up foods such as buns or croissants. The long handle is designed for easy reach over the fire without risk of burns.
This cooking iron is sized for individual portion. Cast iron is extremely hard-wearing and durable. It can be used in any real fire, large or small.
For best results, spread oil or butter inside the two parts of the iron before placing food, turn the iron around in the fire every minute or so to prevent food burning.

Mexican chimeneas are the best functioning burners of all patio fires. Their structure and design, perfected over centuries in Central America make them the easiest chimeneas to light and the most efficient burners. No need for roaring fires, the clay becomes hot and radiates the heat.
It is important you observe the instructions and maintenance recommendations. Not all fuels and lighting fuels can be used in Mexican chimeneas and they will need protection from the weather.
Mexican chimeneas are hand-made and hand-painted, so shapes and colours may vary slightly. The paint finish on this chimenea will discolour when fired or if left outside all the time. Colour changes do not affect use. Mexican chimeneas can be repainted with ordinary emulsion paint.
Cure your clay chiminea before use: fill the chiminea with sand to about three quarters of the way to the top of the mouth. Next, light a small fire on top of the sand using just kindling and paper. Then allow the chiminea to cool completely. Repeat the process 3-6 times, each time making the fire larger. After this is done, your chiminea is ready for use.
Do not use coal on a clay chimenea. Coal burns very hot and might damage the chimenea.
