M MakeDaMug Member behind a cluttered desk Joined: Mar 28, 2002 Posts: 1183	M MakeDaMug Posted posted on Thu, Mar 16, 2006 5:51 PM 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 [email protected] with your complete shipping information and color preference (black, brown or green). Chiminea... Mini Grill...

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!

M MakeDaMug Member behind a cluttered desk Joined: Mar 28, 2002 Posts: 1183	M MakeDaMug Posted posted on Thu, Mar 30, 2006 1:45 PM 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

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.

M MakeDaMug Member behind a cluttered desk Joined: Mar 28, 2002 Posts: 1183	M MakeDaMug Posted posted on Thu, Jun 22, 2006 7:09 PM 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. [ Edited by: smogbreather 2006-06-22 19:10 ]

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. Flip-flOp-fLipPp...
