Clay chimineas need to be protected from the weather. If exposed to rain and cold a clay chiminea can be softer or break.

Chimineas that are frequently used should be filled with 50mm of sand or Gardeco Lava stones (see Accessories above). This reduces the contact between chimineas's direct flames. It also helps the clay material get used to a staggered heat.

Size

A chimenea is the ideal size for the majority of patios and gardens. The clay structure heats up and radiates the warmth into the area, providing a cozy fire and ambience. They also function as wood burning stoves that efficiently consume various aromatic hardwoods that produce gorgeous natural scents.

Chimineas made of clay have a larger surface area than chimineas made of metal chiminea. This makes them safer to touch even when they are hot. This helps keep the clay's interior from taking in too much heat and breaking. It is recommended to place 50mm of sand (or Gardeco lava stone) at the bottom to prevent the clay from coming in contact with the most hot part and to create an even heat pattern.

Chimineas provide a green alternative to gas barbecues. They can be used with different fuels that include natural gas, propane, and charcoal. They are particularly efficient when used with aromatic hardwoods like Apple, Cherry and Yew that burn slowly, releasing a beautiful fragrance and producing less ash. Chimeneas should be covered when not in use to protect it from snow and rain, as it can become hard to get a fire pits and chimineas going if the clay becomes wet.

Function

A chimenea provides a safe way to enjoy the fire outdoors and also add ambiance and light to your outdoor space. Since centuries, they have been used to provide warmth and light.

Chimineas made of clay can be made of kiln-fired clay and coated with a waterproof coating to ensure their durability. They are crafted and fired in small, local factories to aid in the development of the communities and economy of Mexico. Kiln-fired to high temperatures, they are used to remove any organic or water content from the clay that is in its raw state. This minimizes the risk of the clay cracking due to thermal shock.

A lot of our larger models come with the option of cooking areas where you can cook food on the flame. This is a fantastic feature for those that like to cook and entertain at the same time and can add a touch of fun and flavour to the meals you have with your family and friends.

When you are first starting to use your chiminea it is best to start with an initial small fire before you slowly increase the size of the fire. This is crucial because the clay acts as a radiator and when you begin with a large fire the temperature will rise too quickly. The clay could crack because it's not exposed to the heat.

Maintenance

Chimineas, which are made from clay, are prone to cracking. This is a minor issue, but it could have a negative impact on the appearance and performance. To prevent this, it is important to keep your chiminea in good condition. Cleaning it frequently and sealing it with sealant is a part of this. It is also important to properly store your chiminea to avoid damage from extreme temperatures and moisture.

Handling with care is among the most common causes of cracks in a Chiminea. Handle a chiminea with care because it is a huge piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that can burn or ignite it while it is hot. A dealer once told me that he couldn't even warrant his chimineas against breakage since they were most likely to break due to careless handling before they were fired once!

Using water to extinguish fires is another frequent reason for cracks in Chimineas. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature changes, and pouring water on the chiminea results in thermal shock and stress fractures. The best way to safely end the fire in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally, or employ sand.

If you are purchasing a new chiminea, it is important to choose one that has a stand. It will be simpler to clean, and it will look better in your garden. Chimineas with no stands can be difficult to move, especially if it's windy or rainy. You can also purchase a poker to help you move the logs and a brush for removing soot and ash.

When you first purchase your chiminea, it needs to be "cured" (broken into) slowly. Start with small fires and increase the size of logs gradually. In this process, the clay will become more seasoned and resistant to cracks. A seasoned chiminea is also able to be 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 important to monitor the size of your fire, and not allow it to get too big or get out of control.
