Clay chimineas are made from kiln-fired clay that is coated with a waterproof layer to ensure their durability. They are made and fired in small local factories that aid the economy and communities in Mexico. They are fired at high temperatures in order to eliminate any water or organic material in the raw clay. This decreases the chance of the clay cracking due to thermal shock.

Many of our larger models include a cooking area where you can cook food on the flame. This is a great option for those who love cooking while entertaining simultaneously. It will add a fun element to your meals.

It is recommended to begin with a small fire when you first start using your chiminea, and then gradually increase the size. This is important because the clay acts as a radiator and should you start with a large fire, the temperature will increase too fast. The clay may crack if it's not able to absorb the heat.

Maintenance

Chimineas are made from clay, which is susceptible to cracking. Although this is typically an issue of minor importance but it can affect the appearance and functionality of the chiminea. It is essential to keep the chiminea in good condition to avoid this. This means cleaning it frequently and applying a sealant that is protective. It is also important to store your chiminea properly to avoid damage due to cold temperatures and moisture.

One of the main causes for cracks in a chiminea is poor handling. Chimineas are like a large piece of fine china, and must be handled with care. Avoid dropping it, touching anything that can cause it to be burned, or firing it when it's hot. A dealer once told me that he couldn't even warrant his chimineas against breakage since most of them were broken due to careless handling before they were fired once!

Another common cause of cracks on chimineas can be caused by using water to extinguish the fire. Clay is prone to sudden temperature changes and pouring hot water over a clay chiminea can cause thermal shock and stress cracks. The best way to put out a chiminea is to allow the fire die naturally, or to make use of sand to put it out in a safe manner.

When you are buying a new Chiminea, you need to select one that has a stand. It will be easier for you to clean, and will look better in your garden. Chimineas that do not have stands can be hard to move, especially if it's windy or rainy. You should also purchase a poker to assist you in move the logs and a brush for removing soot and ash.

You must "cure" (break in) your modern chiminea slowly when you first buy it. Start by lighting small fires, then increase the size of logs gradually. As time passes, the clay will become more resistant to cracks and will become more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea will also be more efficient at holding a larger, controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you can begin making larger-sized fires with confidence. However, it is vital to keep track of the size of your fire and not allow it to grow too big chiminea or out of control.
