Chimineas made of clay have a larger surface area than metal chimineas. This makes them more safe to touch when hot. This also helps to prevent the clay from cracking due too much heat. It is recommended to put 50mm of sand (or Gardeco lava stone) on the bottom of the bowl to prevent the clay from coming in contact with the most hot part and to create an even heat pattern.

They are produced and fired in small local factories that help support the economy and communities in Mexico. They are fired kiln-fired at high temperatures to eliminate any organic material or water in the raw clay. This reduces the chances of the clay cracking due to thermal shock.
A lot of our larger Chimineas come with an area for cooking that allows you to grill food over the flame. This is a great feature for those who like to cook and entertain at the same time and will add an extra element of fun and flavour to dinners with your family and friends.
When you first begin to use your chiminea, it is always best to build the fire in a small area and gradually increase the size of the fire. It is crucial to start small since the clay acts as a radiator. If you begin with a larger size, the temperature will quickly rise. This can cause cracks in the clay as it isn’t used to the temperature.

Maintenance
Chimineas are constructed from clay, which is prone to cracking. While this is typically an issue of minor importance however, it can impact the appearance and function of the chiminea for sale. It is essential to keep the chiminea clean to avoid this. This means cleaning it frequently and applying a sealant that is protective. Store your chiminea correctly to prevent damage from the elements and cold temperatures.
One of the primary reasons for cracks in a chiminea is poor handling. Be careful when handling a chiminea because it is a huge piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could cause it to be burned or firing it while it’s hot. One dealer I spoke to said he did not guarantee his chimineas against breakage, because they are often damaged by careless handling after they were fired up!
Another reason for cracks in chimineas is the use of water to extinguish the fire. Clay is sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations, and pouring hot water on a clay chiminea could cause thermal shock and stress cracks. The best method to end the fire in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally, or use sand.
When you purchase an all-new Chiminea, you need to select one that comes with an appropriate stand. It is easier to clean and make it look more attractive in your backyard. Chimineas without stands can be difficult to move, especially if the weather is stormy or rainy. You can also purchase an instrument that helps you move the logs and a brush for getting rid of soot and ash.
When you first purchase your chiminea it needs to be “cured” (broken in) slowly. Start with small fires and increase the size of logs gradually. During this time, the clay will become more resistant to cracks and seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is more efficient in holding a larger, controlled fire. After three or four small fires, it is possible to begin making larger-sized fires with confidence. However, it is still essential to be aware of the size of your fire and to not allow it to become too large or get out of control.
