Clay chimineas must be protected from the elements. If left exposed to cold and rain a cast aluminum chiminea made of clay 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 assists the material to adapt to the gradual heat.

Size

A chimenea is a great size for most patios and gardens. The clay structure radiates heat and creates a cozy atmosphere. They also serve as wood-burning stoves, efficiently consuming the various hardwoods that give beautiful natural aromas.

For smaller spaces design that taper to a chimney are the best. There are several attractive colors that provide an attractive appearance. They can be used to cook food on an open flame, a feature that adds a new satisfaction and pleasure to the experience of an outdoor gathering.

Chimineas have been made by hand and then painted by hand. They can fade if used or placed outside. If this is the case, the paint can easily be sanded, and then repainted using an exterior emulsion-based paint. This isn't always necessary.

Some clay chimeneas come with a chrome BBQ grill to allow you to cook food on an open flame. Cooking can be done over an open flame while enjoying the ambiance.

Unlike metal chimineas, clay is much safer to touch when hot because the temperature is spread out across a larger surface. This also helps prevent the clay's interior from absorbing too much heat and fracturing. It is recommended to put 50mm of sand (or Gardeco lava stone) on the bottom of the bowl to prevent the clay from coming into contact with the hottest part and to create a uniform heat pattern.

Chimineas are a green alternative to gas grills and are suitable for a variety of fuel types including propane, natural gas and charcoal. Chimineas are particularly effective when made with aromatic woods such as Apple, Cherry, and Yew that burn slow and produce less ash. A chimenea should be covered when it is not in use to shield it from rain and snow because it could be difficult to get a fire going when the clay is wet.

Design

A clay chimenea is an excellent addition to any patio. The clay is fire-resistant and the design allows for an uncluttered, non-smoking fire. They are designed with a wide base that tapers to the chimney and stack. The chimney captures the flame and carries it to the top so that it can warm your outdoor space. A lot of chimineas feature decorative details which enhances their design and adds a stunning finish to your patio or garden. A chimenea is a great option for those with limited space and who would like the warmth of a fire in the outdoor.

A chimenea is also ideal for cooking. Certain models come with an integrated grill that can be used to grill food on the fire. The clay or adobe material absorbs the heat and radiates it to the outside and you don't have to create a large fire to keep your food hot. They are also easier to maintain than metal chimineas because they are more easily cleaned and aren't as susceptible to rust.

Function

Chimeneas are a safe way to enjoy the fire outdoors and also add ambiance and light to your outdoor chiminea fireplace space. Since ancient times they have been used to provide warmth and light. Now you can use them as a focal point for your garden or patio. They are easy to use and are a good option for those who do not want the dangers of an open flame but still want to enjoy the benefits.

Clay chimineas are made of kiln-fired clay and coated with a waterproof layer to ensure their durability. They are produced and fired in small local factories that support communities and the economy of Mexico. They are fired kiln-fired at high temperatures to remove any water or organic material in the clay. This decreases the risk of cracking the clay because of thermal shock.

Many of our larger Chimineas come with an area for cooking that allows you to grill food on the fire. This is a fantastic option for those who love to cook while entertaining simultaneously. It will bring a sense of fun to your dinners.

It is best to start with a small flame at first when you are using your chiminea, and then gradually increase the size. It is essential to start small as the clay acts like an electric radiator. If you start large, the temperature will quickly rise. This could cause cracks in the clay because it is not accustomed to the heat.

Wrapped With Iron is one of the many designs in our large clay range. This features the traditional clay look of a Mexican pottery, but with an iron accent on the lid and stack. The design also comes with a removable chimney stand and cover.

The Honeycomb clay chiminea is a sleek fire pit with a cross design on the bowl and the stack. This model is lighter in color and soft tones. It also comes with a removable stand and chimney cover.

Maintenance

Chimineas are made from clay, which is prone to cracking. This is not a major issue, but it could cause a negative impact on the appearance and functionality. To avoid this from happening, it is essential to take care of your chiminea. This means cleaning it frequently and applying a sealant to protect it. Keep your chiminea in a safe place to avoid damage caused by moisture and cold temperatures.

Handling with care is among the most frequent causes of cracks in a Chiminea. Chimineas are like a huge piece of china, and should be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could cause it to be burned or firing it while it's hot. One dealer told me he did not warrant his chimineas against breaking, because they were often broken due to careless handling, even before they were fired!

Another reason for cracks in chimineas is the use of water to put out the fire. Clay is prone to sudden temperature changes, and pouring hot water on the chiminea made of clay can cause stress cracks and thermal shock. The best method to extinguish a chiminea is to allow the fire die naturally or to use sand to extinguish it without risk.

When you purchase an all-new largest chiminea, it is important to pick one that has an appropriate stand. It will be simpler to clean and make it more attractive in your yard. Chimineas that do not have stands can be hard to move, especially if it is windy or rainy. You can also buy a poker that will help 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 into) slowly. Start with small fires, and gradually increase the size of your logs. In this period the clay will get more resistant to cracks and will become more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea will also hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you are able to start making full-size fires with confidence. However, it is still essential to be aware of the size of your fire and not allow it to become too big or out of control.
