Chimineas that are regularly used should be filled with 50mm of sand or Gardeco Lava stones (see Accessories above). This will reduce contact between the Chiminea and direct flames. It also allows the material get used to the uneven heat.
Size
A chimenea is a great size for most patios and gardens. The clay structure emits heat and creates a cozy atmosphere. They also function as wood burning stoves that efficiently consume a variety of aromatic hardwoods that produce gorgeous natural aromas.
Smaller designs that taper into the shape of a chimney are perfect for smaller areas. Some are available with attractive colors that add an attractive element. They can be used to cook food on an open flame, an option that adds a new level of gratification and enjoyment to a backyard gathering.
Chimineas have been hand-crafted and painted by hand. They can discolor when placed outside. If this happens, the paint can easily be sanded, and then repainted using an exterior emulsion-based paint. This isn't usually necessary.
Some clay chimeneas are equipped with chrome BBQ which allows you to cook on an open flame. You can cook over an open flame while enjoying the ambiance.
Contrary to metal chimineas is much more safe to touch if they are hot, as the temperature is spread out over a wider surface. This will also stop the inner clay from cracking due too much heat. It is recommended to put 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see Accessories below) at the bottom of the chimenea to reduce the contact of the clay with the hot part of the fire and also to create a staggered pattern of heat.
Chimineas are a green alternative to gas barbecues. They can be used with various fuels, including natural gas, propane and charcoal.

Function
Chimeneas are an excellent option to enjoy a fire in the outdoors in a safe way. It can also add illumination and ambiance to your outdoor area. Since ancient times, they have been used to provide warmth and light. Now you can use them as a focal point in your garden or patio. They are easy to use, and are a good option for those who do not want the dangers of open flames but still want to enjoy the advantages.
Clay chimineas are made from kiln-fired clay that is coated with a waterproof coating to ensure long-lasting. They are manufactured and fired in small local factories that help support the economy and communities in Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures they are used to eliminate any organic or water content in the
big clay chiminea that is in its raw state. This reduces the chances of the clay cracking due to thermal shock.
A large portion of our Chimineas come with cooking areas that allow you to grill food on the fire. This is a great feature for those that like to cook and entertain at the same time and will add an extra element of enjoyment and flavor to dinners with friends and family.
It is recommended to start with a small flame when you first start using your chiminea. Then gradually increase the size. It is essential to start small since the clay acts like an electric radiator. If you begin with a large, the temperature will rise quickly. This can cause cracks in the clay because it is not accustomed to the heat.
There are many different designs in our large clay chiminea collection, including the Wrapped With Iron. It has the traditional clay look of a Mexican pottery with an iron accent on the lid and the stack. This model comes with a stand that is removable and chimney cover.

Maintenance
Chimineas, made from clay, are prone to cracking. This is a minor issue, but it could have a negative impact on the appearance and functionality. It is crucial to keep the chiminea in good condition in order to prevent this. Cleaning it regularly and sealing it with sealant is an integral part of this. Store your chiminea correctly to avoid damage caused by the elements and cold temperatures.
One of the main causes for cracks in a chiminea is careless handling. Handle a chiminea with care because it is a substantial piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it or not letting it touch anything that can burn or fire it when it is hot. One dealer told me that he did not guarantee his chimineas against breaking, because they were often broken due to careless handling, even after they were fired up!
Another common cause of cracks on chimineas is using water to smother the fire. Clay is sensitive to sudden temperature changes and pouring hot water on a clay chiminea can cause thermal shock and stress cracks. The best method to put out the flame in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally or make use of sand.
It is crucial to buy a chiminea that comes with an base. It will be simpler to clean and will make it more attractive in your yard. Chimineas that do not have stands can be difficult to move, especially in the event of wet or windy. You can also purchase a poker that will help you move the logs, and a brush to remove soot and ash.
You should "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly when you first buy it. Start with small fires and increase the size of your logs gradually. As time passes, the clay will become more resistant to cracks and will become more seasoned. A seasoned
chiminea indoor is also able to hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small flames, you will be able to start a full-size fire with confidence.
