Large Clay Chimineas For SaleChimineas made of clay should be protected from the elements. Clay chimineas can break or soften when left in the rain and cold.
Chimineas used frequently should be filled with 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see Accessories above). This will reduce the contact between chimineas's direct flames. It also helps the clay material to be used to generate heat in a staggered manner.
Size
Chimeneas are the ideal size for many gardens and patios. The clay structure warms up and radiates the warmth to the surrounding area, creating a warm flame and an ambiance. They can also be used as wood stoves. They burn aromatic hardwoods to produce beautiful natural aromas.
For smaller areas design that taper to a chimney are the best. Some come in attractive colors to add an attractive element. They can be used to cook food on an open flame, a feature that brings an added satisfaction and enjoyment to a backyard gathering.
Chimineas are hand-crafted and painted by hand. They may discolor when used or placed outside. If this is an issue it is possible for the paint to be sanded, and then repainted using an exterior emulsion-based paint. This isn't always necessary.
Some clay chimeneas are supplied with a chrome BBQ grill so you can cook food over an open flame. This allows you to enjoy the ambiance of a flame while cooking your meal and it adds an extra layer of flavour that isn't possible with gas or electric cookers.
Contrary to metal chimineas Chimineas are safer to touch when they are hot, as the temperature is spread over a wider area. This helps keep the clay inside from absorption of too much heat and fracturing. It is recommended to place 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see Accessories below) on the bottom of the chimenea to minimize the contact of the clay with the most hot part of the fire, and to create a staggered pattern of heat.
Chimineas offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to gas barbecues. Chimineas can be used with various fuels, including propane, natural gases and charcoal.

A chimenea must be covered when it is not in use to shield it from snow and rain, as it can become difficult to start a fire in the event that the clay gets wet.
Design

outdoor chiminea fireplace space. Since centuries, they have been used to provide warmth and light. Today, you can use them as a focal point for your garden or patio. They are simple to use and are a great option for those who don't want the dangers of an open flame but still want the benefits.
Clay chimineas are made of fired clay that has been kiln-fired and coated with a waterproof glaze that ensures long-lasting durability. They are made and fired in small, local factories to assist in the economic development and communities of Mexico. They are fired kiln-fired at high temperatures to eliminate any organic or water-based material in the clay. This reduces the chance of the clay cracking because of thermal shock.
A large portion of our Chimineas come with an area for cooking that allows you to grill food on the flame. This is an excellent option for those who want to cook and entertain simultaneously. It will add an extra element of enjoyment and flavor to the meals you have with friends and family.
It is recommended to begin with a small flame when you first start using your chiminea, and then gradually increase the size. It is essential to start small because the clay acts like a radiator. If you begin with a larger size, the temperature will increase quickly. The clay can crack as it's not able to absorb the heat.

Maintenance
Chimineas are constructed from clay, which is 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 keep your chiminea in good condition. This means cleaning it regularly and using a protective sealant. Store your chiminea correctly to avoid damage from moisture and cold temperatures.
Handling with care is among the most common causes of cracks in a Chiminea. Handle a chiminea with care, as it is a huge piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could burn it, or firing it when it's hot. A dealer once told me that he didn't even guarantee his chimineas against breaking because they were most likely to break due to careless handling before they were fired once!
Another common cause of cracks on
chimineas and fire pits can be caused by using water to put out the fire. Clay is sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations and pouring hot water onto a clay chiminea can cause stress cracks and thermal shock. The most effective way to end the fire in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally or employ sand.
When you are buying an newest chiminea, it is important to pick one that comes with an accompanying stand. It will be simpler for you to clean, and will look better in your garden. Chimineas that do not have stands can be difficult to move, especially if the weather is windy or rainy. It is recommended to purchase a poker to help you manipulate the logs and a brush to get rid of soot and ash.
You should "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly after you purchase it for the first time. 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
big chiminea is also able to hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small flames, you'll be able to start a full-size fire with confidence. But, it's vital to keep track of the size of your fire, and not allow it to grow too large or out of control.
