Size

A large chiminea adds the outdoors to life. It creates a welcoming atmosphere that invites families and friends to come together for a fun time.

A large chiminea can warm the patio, while smaller ones are better for smaller gardens.

The size of a chimney is important because it determines how much heat the fireplace produces. The size of the mouth or chimney can also influence the amount of smoke is released by the chiminea. A chimney with a large opening will produce more smoke from chimineas than one with a small opening.

Chimineas are typically made from clay, however contemporary designs for chimineas are available in metal, like cast iron or steel. Terracotta or clay chimineas come with a traditional pot belly base. However they can be found in a wide range of styles to suit any decor. Chimineas made of clay aren't as durable as those made of metal and they require more care to maintain. They need a permanent place to be placed in because they can be damaged by rain and wind.

Chimineas should be placed on a brick, concrete, or stone base so that it doesn't get wet. It should be kept away from the home or the trees that are hanging over to prevent damage. Some chimineas can be easily moved around the yard to create ambiance and warmth.

If you are interested in using your chiminea as an outdoor cooking center, then you should consider purchasing a chiminea equipped with a grill. These chimineas are able to grill burgers and steaks.

You should always place your largest chiminea on an even, fire-safe surface like concrete or brick. Avoid placing it under an overhang or any other kind of roof that could catch fire. If you can, set it up on a patio with a raised surface to prevent rainwater from causing damage.

The Medium Sun clay chiminea features a unique crossed honeycomb pattern for its Earthenware exterior and comes complete with a stack cover that can be removed and stand. It has a smaller bowl and a shorter size than some other options. The medium-sized blossoms are similar, however its colors are centered on brown and yellow in contrast to the Sun. It also features an enhanced iron base with a decorative design that supports the base and stack.

Fuel

The type of fuel used in a Chiminea could influence the amount of smoke generated by the appliance. This could also impact its usage. Too much smoke can disturb neighbours, and even lead to complaints about nuisance. Kiln-dried wood is an excellent option because it emits very low levels of smoke, and is efficient in burning. It is a safer option than fossil fuels such as charcoal, which emit large amounts of smoke and have a higher impact on the environment.

When starting an fire, make sure to include newspaper and small twigs to the stack to create a good draft. Put pavers or sand that are fire-safe under the chiminea since it can get very hot. This is particularly relevant when you add more coals. Also, do not place flammable objects within close proximity to the chiminea, or even near it after it has been fired up because sparks and embers could spread quickly and create fire hazards.

A chiminea should be placed on a fire-proof, sturdy outdoor surface, such as a concrete, brick, or stone patio. It should not be set on a wooden deck because the sudden change in temperature could crack clay or terracotta chimineas and cause damage to metal ones. It is also best to keep the chiminea far away from trees that could collapse or other structures such as sheds.

Carbon monoxide fumes emitted from burning wood or charcoal can be fatal. These fumes are inert and tasteless, making them difficult to identify, and people who breathe them in can lose consciousness in a matter of seconds and then never regain consciousness. They are also extremely explosive and could easily cause a fire on the roof of your house or other structure.

Maintenance

You can do a few things to keep your chiminea looking nice and help it last longer. For a clay chiminea to last for a long time, it is essential to keep it clean, apply protective sealants and adhere to the appropriate guidelines for use.

Clay chimineas can easily break or crack when handled improperly. Clay chimineas require special care, unlike chimineas made of metal which can be easily painted. This will help to prolong the lifespan of the chiminea as well as protect it from damage.

Chimineas should be placed away from overhanging trees, low hanging branches, wires and other flammable structures. It should be placed on a base that is non-flammable, like concrete or stone.

The most important step to take when cleaning the chiminea is to get rid of the soot and ash that have accumulated prior to adding any more wood. This will ensure that the fire burns safely and reduces the risk of structural issues.

Cleaning the chiminea's inside and grill after each use is another vital step in the maintenance process. It may be tempting to simply wipe it down but using a cleansing product specifically designed for outdoor use is essential. The best cleaning product is one that has been made for outdoor use and can withstand high temperature.

After the first few times you light in a new chiminea, you should allow it to "cure". This is when you slowly build up the heat for about an hour and then let it go out naturally. This allows the clay to adjust to the higher temperatures of regular burning, and also prevents breaking or cracking.

A grate is recommended inside the chiminea in order to limit the size of the fire as well as to keep ash from getting too big chiminea. Rock sand, pea gravel or chiminea rock are great options for this purpose. To avoid damaging the clay make sure you build a fire that is smaller than the chiminea's capacity.

Additionally, a chiminea should be covered when not in use to shield it from water damage. Snow or rain can cause rust to metal chimineas and it is not uncommon for the clay to crack when exposed to water. Covers can be purchased at most dealers and is an excellent investment for your chiminea.
