If you want to go native with your chiminea you should definitely try using some Ocote.
Grown and harvested sustainably on the slopes of Central Mexico, Ocote (the Mayan word for torch) is the wood of the Montezuma Pine. The Mayan people of Central America used Ocote for lighting fires and cooking due to its high resin content.
What makes it so special?
- Sweet smelling - once burning the wood gives off a pleasent, distinctive odour
- Easy to light - it will catch fire easily using a match or lighter
- Renewable resource - fast growing tree found on mountain slopes in Central America

I used the Ocote Firelighters in my cast iron chiminea alongside pre-cut hardwood logs which I purchased from my local National Trust shop. This was an ideal combination as I then had a long lasting, pretty cheap, smokeless fire with a lovely smell from the Ocote? The hardwood logs can be bought for around a fiver for a huge net sack from The Forrestry Comission or National Trust shops. | ||
