Chimineas - An Authentic Mexican Fire Pit
Chimineas, which were originally used as ovens for baking, are a reflection of Mexico's rich culture. The simple design, blending practicality and aesthetics, is timeless.
Chimineas made of clay are fired in kilns to eliminate organic materials and close the pores to prevent cracking. They are made to be outdoors all year long, but must be protected from prolonged exposure to the elements.
Origins
Imagine a warm, sunny evening in summer, with your loved ones and family eating delicious food outside and being warm by your Mexican or clay chiminea. This scene is reminiscent to the Mexican origins for this type of outdoor fireplace.
The traditional terra-cotta stoves were designed to function as radiant heaters and ovens, assisting tribesmen through the winter nights in their home country. Their distinctive design was inspired from their utilitarian values which focused on practicality and social living.
In the beginning, these stoves were built out of natural terracotta clay which was dried in kilns, then wood-fired. Clay chimineas have a more rustic look and were not glazed to protect the surface. Modern manufacturers produce chimineas made of metals like cast iron, aluminum and brass. These materials provide enhanced durability and resistance to weather and address one of the biggest weaknesses of the clay design.
The distinctive design of the chiminea was influenced by the concept of a potbellied base that rises to form an extended chimney. This design is ideal for containing a fire while sending smoke upwards. This minimizes the intake of air and increases heat retention.
Chimineas were used by Mexican tribes for lighting, heating and cooking. We can still enjoy their aesthetics as well as the warmth they bring in the cold autumn evenings, or even in the warm winter sun.

Traditional chimineas are made by local artisans using moist clay that is gathered directly from the earth. The raw material was then transformed into the shape of the final chimenea before being kiln dried. Clay chimeneas are extremely labor intensive to make especially large ones. Typically potters would coil long snakes of clay into a cylinder shape, and then smooth the clay together and create the chiminea's bowl and neck. The rim of the clay was often decorated with patterns and carvings.
A modern chiminea is usually composed of metals like cast iron or aluminum. The introduction of metal chimineas was a significant step forward because they can stand up to extreme temperatures and humidity without cracking. This change allowed chimineas be used in many different climates.

It's a good idea also to place 50mm of sand or Gardeco Lava Stones, under the chiminea. This will shield it from direct heat.
Materials
Traditional clay and terracotta chimineas that are still produced by small companies today, are kiln fired to temperatures of up to 1000c.

Chimineas are currently available in a variety of materials, including cast iron, Terracotta Chiminea and even aluminum. Terracotta Chimineas are the most commonly used, and offer the traditional Mexican look. They are prone cracking when under pressure, and should only be put on a flat surface that is fire-proof.

It should be positioned away from any walls or structures that might catch alight, as well as any roofs on patios or eaves that may be damaged due to the sudden change in temperature that occurs after the chiminea has been extinguished. To stop the chiminea's ashes from burning too much, it is advised to keep the leaves away and only well-seasoned, kiln-dried logs be burned. It is crucial to clean the chiminea frequently by using a wirebrush as this will help prevent the build-up of deposits that may cause blackening and burning.
