Clay chimineas are constructed from fired clay that has been kiln-fired and coated with a waterproof glaze that ensures durability. They are made and fired in small local factories that assist in the economic development and communities of Mexico. Kiln-fired to high temperatures, they are used to eliminate any organic or water-based content in the raw clay. This minimizes the possibility of the clay cracking because of thermal shock.

It is recommended to start with a small fire when you first use your chiminea, and then gradually increase the size. This is important because the clay acts as a radiator. Moreover, if you start with a large flame, the temperature will increase too fast. This can cause cracks in the clay as it is not accustomed to the temperature.

Maintenance

Chimineas made of clay, are susceptible to cracking. This is a minor issue, but it could affect the appearance and performance. To prevent this from happening, it's important to maintain your chiminea properly. This includes cleaning it regularly and applying a sealant to protect it. It is also important to store your chiminea properly to avoid damage from extreme temperatures and moisture.

One of the primary reasons for cracks in a chiminea is poor handling. Be careful when handling a chiminea since it is a huge piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could cause it to be burned or firing it while it's hot. One dealer told me he did not guarantee his chimineas against breakage, because they were often broken by careless handling even before they were fired!

The use of water to put out a fire is another common cause of cracks in Chimineas. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations and pouring water on the chiminea can cause thermal shock and stress fractures. The best method to extinguish the chiminea is to let the fire die naturally, or to employ sand to extinguish it safely.

It is essential to purchase the chiminea with an element of base. It will be easier for you to clean, and it will look better in your garden. Chimineas without stands are difficult to move, particularly when the weather is wet or windy. You can also buy a poker that will help you move the logs and a brush to remove soot and ash.

When you first purchase your chiminea it should be "cured" (broken into) slowly. Start by lighting small fires, then increase the size of your logs gradually. As time passes, the clay will become more resistant to cracks and seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is more efficient at holding a larger, well-controlled fire. After three or four small flames, it is possible to be capable of starting a large fire with confidence. However, it is still essential to be aware of the size of your fire and to not allow it to grow too big or out of control.
