Size

Clay chimineas have a much wider surface area than chimineas made of metal. This makes them more safe to touch when hot. This helps to prevent the inner clay from taking in too much heat and cracking.

Chimineas offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to gas barbecues. Chimineas can be used with different fuels such as natural gas, propane chiminea, and charcoal.

Function

Chimeneas are a safe way to enjoy an outdoor fire and can also add ambiance and illumination to your outdoor 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 easy to operate and a good alternative for those looking to enjoy the advantages of an outdoor fire without the dangers of an open flame.

Clay chimineas are made from fired clay that has been kiln-fired and coated with a waterproof glaze to ensure the durability. They are made and fired in small local factories that help support communities and the economy in Mexico. They are fired at high temperatures to remove any organic material or water in the clay. This reduces the chance of cracking in the clay as a result of thermal shock.

A lot of our larger chimineas have cooking areas that allow you to grill food over the fire. This is a great choice for those who want cooking while entertaining simultaneously. It will bring a sense of fun to your dinners.

It is recommended to start with a small fire when you first start using your chiminea. Then gradually increase the size. It is crucial to start small because the clay acts as an electric radiator. If you start large, the temperature will rise quickly. The clay may crack if it's not able to absorb the heat.

Maintenance

Chimineas, made of clay, are prone to cracking. This is not a major problem, but it could cause a negative impact on the appearance and function of. To prevent this from happening, it's important to maintain your chiminea properly. This means cleaning it regularly and applying a sealant that is protective. Store your chiminea correctly to avoid damage from the elements and cold temperatures.

One of the primary reasons for cracks in a chiminea is poor handling. Chimineas are like an enormous piece of fine china, and it should be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could burn it or firing it while it's hot. One dealer told me he did not guarantee his chimineas against breaking, since they were frequently broken by careless handling before they were fired!

Another reason for cracks on chimineas is using water to smother the fire. Clay is sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations and pouring hot water onto a clay chiminea could cause thermal shock and stress cracks. The best way to put out a chiminea is to allow the fire die naturally, or to employ sand to extinguish it in a safe manner.

If you are purchasing an all-new Chiminea, you need to pick one that comes with an appropriate stand. It will be easier to clean and it will look nicer in your garden. Chimineas without stands can be difficult to move, particularly if the weather is stormy or rainy. You can also buy a poker that will help you move the logs, and a brush for removing soot and ash.

You should "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly after you first purchase it. Start by lighting small fires, then increase the size of your logs gradually. As time passes the clay will get more resistant to cracks and more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea will also be more efficient at holding a larger, more controlled fire. After three or four small flames, it is possible to be capable of starting a large fire with confidence. It is important to keep in mind the size of the fire to ensure it does not get out of control.
