Hi,
A lot of you didn't get to purchase one of our Mr. Rapa Nui Chimineas because they sold-out so quickly. So we're accepting preorders on them for Spring delivery. We're "building a truckload" for both the Chimineas and the Mini Grills (which you can also preorder) and once the truck's full, we'll bring in the shipment and get 'em out to you. The Chiminea's are $199.95 & the Mini Grills are $109.95 (sorry, no TC discounts on these).

To preorder, please send an email to holden@tikifarm.com with your complete shipping information and color preference (black, brown or green).

Chiminea...

Mini Grill...

Mahaloz,
Holden

Thats a big mug! I take it people sit around it with strawers? What do you mean you put logs in it?

Is it just me, or do I spot a hint of man boobs?

Once again tiki farm has the cool stuff.

Hewey-
"chiminea" is a fancy-schmancy way of saying "portable fireplace" here in the U.S. That's why you put logs in what will be the opening in the stomach.
Holden-
It's gonna be awesome! I can't wait to get mine for the shop. Shipping is gonna be a killer though, hunh? I just might have to plan a vacation weekend in San Clemente!

the Mexican artists and craftsmen, whose language (and tradition) that comes from

would cringe to hear what they create is, in some circles, considered: "fancy-schmancy"

Hi,
Here's a photo of the glazed Chiminea.

The color is a muted black/rich grey oxide with secondary tannish hues. It measures 42" in height and it weighs 116 lbs. I've got a packaging consultant coming in next week but likely, it will be crated with ridgid die-cut foam upper & lower to secure it within the crate.

I anticipate taking delivery of the first run of these late next month. More info including pricing, shipping, crating, etc.. as it becomes available. I may have this sample at Oasis (the photo was taken at the factory).

Mahaloz,
Holden

Holy crap-a-roni!
Very cool. I love fire, I love firepits, I love moai.

I'd love to get one, but fear the shipping costs would bankrupt me.
Any chance of sending them to retailers? Cuz then I could get one from Funhauser in Vancouver.

Anyhow, I like it.

Fire Bad!

Hey Holden-

That massive piece of clay exudes tiki-genius in every possible way:
Great idea, beautiful sculpting, brilliant realization.
You'll let us know when they will become available, of course.
It's just the thing for the deck when the days get shorter and cooler here in upstate NY, and I'm not ready to give up my cocktail ritual and move indoors.

keep up the good work-

We're anticipating our first run of 100 of our "Mr. Rapa Nui" Chiminea's to be completed in late July. We are accepting preorders by tel. only (800) 357-3360. We are working with various freight carriers to get the best freight rates and will quote freight on an individual order basis. Here are some photos...


I'm sorry but we can't offer our standard 15% discount to TC members on the Chiminea. It's pretty expensive to produce.

They're in stock and are available for either shipping or pick-up early next week. We also did a little 10 1/2" matching Mini Chiminea. We've only got a limited supply of 100 on both sizes for the time being. The big fellow is $199.95 and the small tabletop version is $25.95. Sorry, no TC discount on these. We'll quote shipping on an order-by-order basis & won't bill you without your approval.
Mahaloz,
Holden

How Fantastic to see that row of Moai standing proud with the mountains in the background as thay wait to make their magical journey to lite up some poor , cold tikiphiles night. Can you imagine all these guys, with fires burning in their bellies, sitting there listening to the stories told by the people sitting around getting warm? A Thousand tales are coming.

We had a little gathering at the house this weekend to welcome our Mr Rapa Nui!

He was doused with a ceremonial shot of Demerara 151 and fired up.

We are very proud to have one of the soldiers guarding the backyard.

(An eyewitness account reported today, in a sleepy town, outside the big city.)

THE SMOGMAN COMETH...

Carefully I walk through the open doors of Tacky Manor. Well past sunset, darkness fills the room. A dark and looming figure sits quitely in a corner. Nervously, I strike a match to light my puro.
Silence fills the room.

The glowing amber of my fine tobacco torch stirs the shadow, not. I move closer to address this figure and face my growing fears. I cautiously extend my hand and greeting.
Silence feels the room.

I recoil quickly, hair stands erect upon my neck. Chill freezes spine. A lantern within reach, I toss flame to oil...a flash and burn!
Light fills the room.

A stranger of darkness, no more. Mr. Rapa Nui stands stoic to my child-like antics.
Laughter fills the room.

"Welcome to the Easter Coast!", I say... Silence fills the room.
