Clay chimineas are made from fired clay that has been kiln-fired and coated with a waterproof glaze that ensures long-lasting durability. They are manufactured and fired in small local factories that support the economy and communities of Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures, they are used to eliminate any organic or water-based content in the raw clay. This decreases the risk of cracking in the clay as a result of thermal shock.

A large portion of our chimineas are designed with an area for cooking that allows you to grill food on the fire. This is a fantastic option for those who like cooking while entertaining simultaneously. It will add a fun element to your dinners.

When you first begin to use your chiminea, it is best to start with a small fire and slowly increase the size of the fire pits & chimineas. This is because the clay acts as a radiator.

Maintenance

Chimineas are made of clay, which is susceptible to cracking. Although this is usually not a major issue but it can affect the appearance and performance of the chiminea. To prevent this from happening, it's important to maintain your chiminea properly. Cleaning it frequently and using sealant is part of this. Store your chiminea correctly to avoid damage from moisture and cold temperatures.

Handling with care is among the main causes cracks in Chiminea. Take care when handling a chiminea because it is a large piece fine china. Avoid dropping it, touching anything that can cause it to be burned or firing it when it's hot. One dealer told me that he could not assure his chimineas against breaking, because they are often damaged due to careless handling, even after they were fired up!

Another reason for cracks in chimineas is the use of water to extinguish the fire. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature changes, and pouring water on a chiminea causes stress fractures and thermal shock. The best way to put out a chiminea is to allow the fire naturally die or to employ sand to extinguish it in a safe manner.

When you are buying an all-new Chiminea, it is crucial to choose one that comes with a stand. It will be simpler to clean and make it more attractive in your backyard. Chimineas with no stands can be hard to move, especially when it is windy or rainy. You should also purchase a poker to assist you in move the logs and a brush for removing soot and ash.

When you first purchase your chiminea it needs to be "cured" (broken into) slowly. Start with small fires and increase the size of your logs gradually. In this period the clay will get more resistant to cracks and more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is also able to provide a bigger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you are able to start making full-size fires with confidence. It is crucial to keep an watch on the size of the fire to ensure it does not get out of control.
