Chimineas made of clay have a larger surface area than chimineas made of metal. This makes them safer to touch even when hot. This also helps prevent the clay's interior from absorbing too much heat and fracturing.

Clay chimineas are made of 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 support communities and the economy in Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures, they are used to remove any organic or water content in the raw clay. This decreases the chance of the clay cracking due to thermal shock.

Many of our larger chimineas are designed with a cooking area that allows you to grill food on the fire. This is a fantastic feature for those who like to cook and entertain at the same time and can add a touch of fun and flavour to dinners with family and friends.

It is best to start with a small fire at first when you are using your chiminea, and then gradually increase the size. It is essential to start small since the clay acts as a radiator. If you start large, the temperature will quickly rise. This can crack the clay as it isn't used to the temperature.

Maintenance

Chimineas, which are made of clay, are susceptible to cracking. While this is typically a minor problem however, it can impact the appearance and performance of the chiminea. To prevent this, it is important to maintain your chiminea properly. This includes cleaning it regularly and using a protective sealant. It is also essential to properly store your chiminea to avoid damage due to the cold and humidity.

Unsafe handling is among the most common causes of cracks in a Chiminea. A chiminea is like a huge piece of china, and it should be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it, not letting it touch anything that can burn or ignite it while it is hot. A dealer once told me he didn't even guarantee his chimineas for breakage because the majority of them broke because of careless handling prior to the time they had been fired up once!

Another reason for cracks in chimineas is the use of water to extinguish the fire. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature changes and pouring water on the chiminea results in stress fractures and thermal shock. The best way to put out the chiminea is to let the fire die naturally, or to use sand to extinguish it in a safe manner.

It is crucial to buy an chiminea with an base. It will be simpler to clean and it will look better in your garden. Chimineas without stands are difficult to move, particularly in the event of windy or rainy. You can also buy an instrument that helps you move the logs, and a brush to remove soot and ash.

When you first purchase your chiminea, it needs to be "cured" (broken into) slowly. Start with small fires, and then increase the size of the logs gradually. In this period, the clay will become more resistant to cracks and seasoned. A seasoned chiminea will also hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, it is possible to begin to make larger fires with confidence. However, it is essential to be aware of the size of your fire and not allow it to become too large or out of control.
