Congratulations on such as thorough and informative post! Though I couldn't watch your videos, I'm sure they are also just (s)teeming with information.
What do you mean by "chimeanea"? In Mexico the word is simply used to mean a fireplace, one of the least efficient, though possibly romantic ways of burning wood.

In us and canada a chiminea is an outdoor fireplace with a chimney. Indoor fireplace we just call a fireplace. Chimineas are especially popular in residential areas where outdoor fires must be enclosed and not open pit.
The old chiminea boiler from last summer - I took the chimney off the put the boiler on top. The chimney is now used with the rocket stove, sideways, it's where i feed the wood into :)
Oh, okay! I think I remember seeing those types of fireplaces, made of clay (in the US, though I'm sure they have them in Mexico too). And I agree, placing it sideways to work as rocket stove was a sensible idea.
