Clay chimineas are constructed from fired clay that has been kiln-fired and coated with an impervious glaze to ensure the durability. They are made and fired in small local factories that help support communities and the economy of Mexico. They are fired kiln-fired at high temperatures to eliminate any organic material or water in the raw clay. This minimizes the possibility of cracking the clay because of thermal shock.
A lot of our larger chimineas are designed with an area for cooking that allows you to cook food over the flame. This is a fantastic option for those who love to cook while entertaining simultaneously. It will add a fun element to your dinners.
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.

Maintenance
Chimineas, made of clay, are susceptible to cracking. This is a minor issue, but it can cause a negative impact on the appearance and functionality. It is essential to keep the chiminea clean in order to prevent this. This means cleaning it frequently and applying a sealant that is protective. Store your chiminea correctly to prevent damage from extreme cold and moisture.
One of the primary reasons for cracks in a chiminea is careless handling. Handle a chiminea with care, as it is a substantial piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that is likely to ignite or ignite it while it is hot. A dealer once told me he didn't even guarantee his chimineas for breakage because they were most likely to break due to careless handling before they were fired up once!
Using water to extinguish a fire is another common reason for cracks in chimineas. Clay is prone to sudden temperature fluctuations, and pouring hot water over a clay chiminea could cause stress cracks and thermal shock. The best method to end the fire in a chiminea is to let it die naturally or make use of sand.
It is essential to purchase the chiminea with a base. It will be simpler for you to clean, and will look better in your garden. Chimineas without stands can be difficult to move, especially when it's rainy or windy. You can also purchase an instrument that helps you move the logs and a brush for removing soot and ash.
When you first purchase your
chiminea near me it needs to be "cured" (broken in) slowly. Start with small fires and gradually increase the size of your logs. During this time the clay will get more resistant to cracks and seasoned. A seasoned chiminea will also provide a bigger and more controlled fire. After three or four small flames, it is possible to be able to start a full-size fire with confidence.
