Clay chimineas must be protected from weather. If left exposed to cold and rain a chiminea made of clay can get softer or crack.
Chimineas that are frequently used should be filled with 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see Accessories above). This helps reduce contact between the chiminea and the direct flames. It also helps the clay material be used to staggered heat.
Size
A chimenea 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 that efficiently consume various aromatic hardwoods that produce gorgeous natural aromas.
For smaller spaces, designs that taper to the chimney are ideal. They are available in a number of appealing colors that add an attractive accent. They can be used to cook food on an open flame which adds an entirely new level of enjoyment to backyard parties.
Chimineas have been made by hand and then painted. They can discolor when used or placed outside. If this happens, the paint can be lightly sanded and then repainted using an external Emulsion-based paint, though this isn't typically required.
Some clay chimeneas come with a chrome BBQ that allows you to cook your food over an open flame. This lets you enjoy the ambiance of a flame while cooking your meal and it adds an extra layer of flavour that isn't feasible with electric or gas cookers.
Unlike metal chimineas, clay Chimineas are safer to touch when hot because the temperature is spread out over a wider area. This also helps to prevent the clay from cracking because of excessive heat. It is recommended to place 50mm of sand (or Gardeco lava stone) on the bottom of the bowl to prevent the clay from coming into contact with the most hot part and to create an even heat pattern.
Chimineas are an environmentally friendly alternative to gas grills and are suitable for a variety of fuel types including natural gas, propane and charcoal. They are particularly effective when used with aromatic hardwoods like Apple, Cherry and Yew that burn slowly, releasing a beautiful fragrance and producing less ash. A chimenea must be covered when not in use to protect it from rain and snow as it may be difficult to start a fire if the clay becomes wet.
Design
A clay chimenea is wonderful addition to any patio. The clay is resistant to fire and the design allows for an uncluttered, non-smoking fire. They're constructed with a broad base that tapers to an elongated chimney and stack. The chimney holds the flame high and allows it to warm the outdoor area. A lot of chimineas come with decorative details which enhance their design and add a stunning finishing touch for your garden or patio. A chimenea is an excellent option for anyone with a small space and who would like the warmth of an outdoor fire.
A chimenea is also ideal for cooking. Some models have built-in grills that can be used for barbecuing food on the fire. The clay or adobe material absorbs heat and radiates it to the outside and you don't have to create a large fire to keep your food hot. They are also easier to maintain than chimineas made of metal because they can be cleaned more easily and aren't as prone to rust.

Function
A chimenea is a great option to enjoy a fire outside in a safe manner. It will also add illumination and ambiance to your outdoor area. They have been used for centuries to provide warmth and heat but they are now utilized as a beautiful focal feature in your garden or patio area. They are simple to use, and are a great choice for those who don't want the dangers of a flame but still want to enjoy the advantages.
Clay chimineas are made from clay fired in kilns and then coated with an impervious glaze to ensure long-lasting durability. They are manufactured and fired in small local factories that support communities and the economy in Mexico. They are kiln fired at high temperatures to eliminate any organic material or water in the raw clay. This decreases the chance of cracking the clay due to thermal shock.
A large portion of our chimineas are designed with an area for cooking that allows you to grill food on the fire. This is a great option for those who love to cook while entertaining at the same time. It can add a fun element to your meals.
When you first begin to use your chiminea, it is always best to build the fire in a small area and gradually increase the size of the fire. It is important to start small as the clay acts like a radiator. If you begin with a larger size the temperature will rise quickly. The clay may crack if it's not exposed to the heat.
There are a number of different designs in our large clay chiminea collection, including the Wrapped With Iron. This features the traditional clay look of Mexican pottery, but with an iron accent on the stack and lid. This design comes with a removable stand and chimney cover.

Maintenance
Chimineas made of clay, are prone to cracking. While this is typically not a major issue, it can affect the appearance and function of the chiminea. It is important to maintain the chiminea correctly in order to prevent this. Cleaning it regularly and sealing it with sealant is a part of this. It is also important to properly store your chiminea to avoid damage from the cold and humidity.
Unsafe handling is among the most common causes cracks in Chiminea. Take care when handling a chiminea because it is a huge piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it, touching anything that can cause it to burn or firing it when it's hot. A dealer once told me that he couldn't even warrant his chimineas sale for breakage because the majority of them broke because of careless handling prior to the time they had been fired up once!
Another common cause of cracks in chimineas is the use of water to extinguish the fire. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations and the act of pouring water over a chiminea causes stress fractures and thermal shock. The best way to safely end the fire in a chiminea is to let it die naturally or use sand.
When you purchase a new terracotta chiminea, it is important to pick one that has an accompanying stand. It will be easier to clean and will make it more attractive in your yard. Chimineas without stands can be hard to move, particularly if it's rainy or windy. You should also purchase a poker to assist you in move the logs, and a brush to get rid of the ash and soot.
You should "cure" (break in) your cast aluminium chiminea slowly as you purchase it for the first time. Begin with small fires, and gradually increase the size of your logs. As time passes, the clay will become more resistant to cracks and will become more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea will also be more efficient at holding a larger, well-controlled fire. After three or four small fires, it is possible to begin to make larger fires with confidence. It is essential to keep an an eye on the size of the fire to ensure that it does not become out of control.
