Clay chimineas should be protected from the elements. Chimineas made of clay can crack or become softer if left out in the cold and rain.

Chimineas to be frequently used should be filled to 50mm with sand or Gardeco Lava Stones (see Accessories above). This reduces the contact between chimineas's direct flames. It also helps the clay material be used to staggered heat.

Size

A chimenea is the ideal size for most patios and gardens. The clay structure warms up and radiates the heat into the surrounding area, generating a cozy fire and ambiance. They also serve as wood burning stoves, efficiently consuming various aromatic hardwoods that give beautiful natural scents.

Smaller designs that taper into a chimney are ideal for smaller areas. Some are available with attractive colors that add an attractive element. They can be used to prepare food over an open fire which adds an extra level of fun to a backyard party.

Chimineas have been hand-crafted and painted. They can discolor when used or placed outside. If this is a problem it can be lightly sanded and then repainted using an external emulsion based paint, although this isn't usually necessary.

Some clay chimeneas come with a chrome BBQ grill to allow you to cook food on an open flame. This allows you to take in the ambience of a fire while cooking a meal and adds an additional layer of flavour that isn't feasible with electric or gas cookers.

Contrary to metal chimineas is much safer to touch when they are hot because the temperature is spread out across a larger surface. This helps to prevent the clay inside from taking in too much heat and cracking. It is recommended to put 50mm of sand (or Gardeco lava stone) on the bottom to stop the clay from coming in contact with the most hot part and to create a uniform heat pattern.

Chimineas provide a green alternative to gas barbecues. They can be used with different fuels that include propane, natural gases and charcoal. Chimineas work best when made with aromatic woods like Apple, Cherry, and Yew that burn slower and produce less ash. Cover the chimenea when not in use. This will shield it from rain or snow.

Design

A clay chimenea can be a great addition to any patio. The clay is resistant to fire and the design allows for an uncluttered, non-smoking flame. The base is broad and is shaped to form a chimney. The chimney catches the flame and holds it high to allow it to warm your outdoor space. Many chimineas feature decorative details which enhance their design and add a stunning finishing finish to your patio or garden. Chimeneas are the ideal option for those with limited space, and who would like the warmth of a fire outdoors.

A chimenea can also be used for cooking. Certain models come with a built-in grill that can be used to grill food over the flame.

They are also easier than metal chiminea chimineas to maintain because they can be cleaned easily and are less susceptible to corrosion.

Clay chimineas can be made from kiln-fired clay that is coated with a waterproof coating to ensure their durability. They are manufactured and fired in small local factories that support communities and the economy in Mexico. They are fired kiln-fired at high temperatures to remove any water or organic material in the raw clay. This minimizes the risk of the clay cracking due to thermal shock.

A lot of our larger Chimineas come with cooking areas that allow you to grill food over the flame. This is a fantastic feature for those who like to cook and entertain at the same time and will add a bit of fun and flavour to dinners with friends and family.

When you are first starting to use your chiminea it is best to start with the fire in a small area and gradually increase the size of the fire. This is crucial because the clay acts as a radiator and should you start with a large fire the temperature will increase too fast. The clay may crack if it's not exposed to the heat.

Maintenance

Chimineas are constructed from clay, which is susceptible to cracking. This is not a major issue, but it could cause a negative impact on the appearance and functionality. To avoid this from happening, it is essential to keep your chiminea in good condition. Cleaning it frequently and sealing it with sealant is an integral part of this. It is also important to store your big chiminea properly to prevent damage from cold temperatures and moisture.

One of the primary reasons for cracks in a chiminea is careless handling. Chimineas are like an enormous piece of fine china, and it should be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it, touching anything that can cause it to burn, or firing it when it's hot. One dealer told me that he did not guarantee his chimineas from breaking because they were often broken by careless handling even before they were fired!

Another reason for cracks in chimineas is the use of water to extinguish the fire. Clay is sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations, and pouring hot water over a clay chiminea could cause stress cracks and thermal shock. The best method to put out the flame in a chiminea fire pit would be to let it die naturally or employ sand.

When you purchase a new Chiminea, it is crucial to select one that has an appropriate stand. It will be simpler for you to clean, and will look better in your garden. Chimineas without stands are difficult to move, particularly if the weather is stormy or rainy. It is recommended to purchase a poker to help you move the logs and a brush to remove the ash and soot.

When you first purchase your chiminea, it should be "cured" (broken in) slowly. Start with small fires, and then gradually increase the size of your logs. In this period the clay will get more resistant to cracks and will become more seasoned. A seasoned modern chiminea will also be more efficient in holding a larger, controlled fire. After three or four small fires, it is possible to start making full-size fires with confidence. It is essential to keep an an eye on the size of the fire to ensure that it doesn't become out of control.
