Hot Art has developed a unique freestanding ceramic fireplace which combines the heat output of the very hottest fireplaces with the natural beauty of decorated and glazed Pottery Although Inspired by the popular Chiminea, Hot Art Firepots are much more robust
Our pots come with a 2 year guarantee, against a faulty clay mix, but not from handling cracks. We consider our pots like tea pots rather than like metal kettles. If wood is constantly thrown into the pot, it will eventually register too many knocks and crack. It will still continue to function without affecting the performance of the pot. We have very specific instructions to help conserve the life of the pot, which obviates the primary cause of cracking. We manufacture the ceramic fireplaces by pressmouldiing a clay body that is designed to have 0% thermal expansion, which took 2 years to get right. We have manufactured almost 6 000 pots to date and Lesley-Ann decorates all of them with finishing lines, and about 50% get individualised decor, pictures and designs. Business hours are between 8:30 and 4pm, and this is when the Hot Art office is open and the employees are in the fireplace production studio.
