Clay chimineas need to be protected from weather. If exposed to rain and cold the chiminea of clay may become softer or crack.

Chimineas to be frequently used should be filled 50mm with sand or Gardeco Lava Stones (see Accessories above). This helps reduce contact between the chiminea and the direct flames. It also helps the material to get used to the gradual heat.

Size

Chimeneas can be the ideal size for many patios and gardens. The clay structure radiates heat and creates a cozy atmosphere. They also function as wood burning stoves, consuming a variety of aromatic woods that emit beautiful natural scents.

For smaller areas, designs that taper to the chimney are ideal. There are several appealing colors that add an aesthetic touch. They can be used to cook food over an open flame, a feature that adds an extra satisfaction and pleasure to the experience of a backyard gathering.

Chimineas are hand-crafted and painted and therefore may fade slightly over time or if kept outside for long periods of time. If this is the case the paint can be sanded and repainted with an exterior emulsion-based paint. This is not usually required.

Certain clay chimeneas have a chrome BBQ that allows you to cook on an open flame. This lets you enjoy the ambiance of an open flame while cooking and adds an additional flavor that's not possible with electric or gas cookers.

In contrast to chimineas made of metal, clay chimineas are much more safe to touch if they are hot because the temperature is spread over a wider surface. This also helps to prevent the clay from cracking due to too much heat. It is recommended to place 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see Accessories below) on the bottom of the chimenea in order to minimize the contact of the clay with the hottest part of the fire and also to create an uneven heat pattern.

Chimineas are a green alternative to gas grills and can be used for a wide variety of fuel types including propane, natural gas and charcoal. Chimineas are particularly effective when used with aromatic woods such as Apple, Cherry, and Yew, which burn slowly and produce less ash.

Design

They are also easier to maintain than metal chimineas because they are easier to clean and aren't as prone to rust.

Clay chimineas are constructed from clay fired in kilns and then coated with an impervious glaze to ensure durability. They are made and fired in small local factories that aid communities and the economy in Mexico. Kiln-fired to high temperatures, they are used to eliminate any organic or water content from the raw clay. This minimizes the possibility of cracking in the clay as a result of thermal shock.

Many of our larger Chimineas come with an area for cooking that allows you to grill food on the flame. This is a fantastic feature for those who like to cook and entertain simultaneously. It will add an extra element of fun and flavour to dinners with friends and family.

It is recommended to start with a small flame at first when you are using your chiminea and then gradually increase the size. It is crucial to start small as the clay acts as a radiator. If you start large, the temperature will increase quickly. The clay could crack because it isn't used to the heat.

Maintenance

Chimineas, which are made of clay, are prone to cracking. Although this is typically an issue of minor importance but it can affect the appearance and function of the chiminea indoor. To prevent this from happening, it is essential to take care of your chiminea. Cleaning it frequently and sealing it with sealant is a part of this. It is also essential to store your chiminea properly to avoid damage due to the cold and humidity.

One of the primary reasons for cracks in a chiminea is careless handling. Chimineas are like a large piece of fine china, and must be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it, letting it touch anything that could ignite or fire it when it is hot. A dealer once told me the dealer didn't even provide a guarantee for his chimineas for breakage because most of them were broken due to careless handling before they were fired up once!

Another common cause of cracks on chimineas is using water to extinguish the fire. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature changes, and pouring water on a chiminea causes thermal shock and stress fractures. The best way to put out the chiminea is to let the fire naturally die or to employ sand to extinguish it safely.

If you are purchasing a new Chiminea, it is crucial to pick one that comes with a stand. It will be easier to clean, and it will look nicer in your garden. Chimineas without stands can be hard to move, particularly if it's rainy or windy. It is recommended to purchase an instrument to help manipulate the logs and a brush to get rid of soot and ash.

When you first purchase your chiminea it needs to be "cured" (broken in) slowly. Start with small fires and increase the size of the logs gradually. During this time the clay will get more resistant to cracks and more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is also able to hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small flames, you will be capable of starting a large fire with confidence. But, it's important to monitor the size of your fire, and not allow it to get too big chiminea or out of control.
