Chimineas made from clay have a wider surface area than chimineas made of metal. This makes them safer to touch while they are hot.

Kiln-fired at high temperatures they are used to eliminate any organic or water content in the clay in its raw form. This decreases the risk of the clay cracking because of thermal shock.

Maintenance

Chimineas are made of clay, which is prone to cracking. Although this is typically not a major issue but it can affect the appearance and performance of the chiminea. To avoid this, it is important to take care of your chiminea. This means cleaning it regularly and applying a sealant that is protective. It is also essential to store your chiminea properly to avoid damage due to extreme temperatures and moisture.

One of the main causes for cracks in a chiminea is careless handling. Be careful when handling a chiminea because it is a substantial piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could cause it to be burned or firing it when it's hot. One dealer told me he did not guarantee his chimineas against breaking, because they are often damaged by careless handling before they were fired!

The use of water to put out fires is another frequent cause of cracks in Chimineas. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations and the act of pouring water over a modern chiminea causes stress fractures and thermal shock. The best way to safely end the fire pits chimineas in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally, or employ sand.

When you are buying an all-new Chiminea, it is crucial to choose one that has an appropriate stand. It is easier to clean and will make it more attractive in your yard. Chimineas without stands can be difficult to move, especially in the event of stormy or rainy. You can also purchase an instrument that helps you move the logs and a brush to remove soot and ash.

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 become 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, it is possible to be in a position to start a large fire with confidence. However, it is important to monitor the size of your fire and to not allow it to become too big or out of control.
