Chimineas made of clay should be protected from the elements. Clay chimineas may break or soften when exposed to the rain and cold.
Chimineas used frequently should be filled with 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see Accessories above). This will reduce the contact between the chiminea's direct flames. It also assists the material to get used to the gradual heat.
Size
Chimeneas can be the perfect size for many patios and gardens. The clay structure radiates heat and creates a cozy atmosphere. They also serve as wood-burning stoves, consuming the various woods that emit beautiful natural aromas.
The smaller designs that taper into a chimney work well for smaller spaces. There are a number of appealing colors that add a decorative accent. They can be used to cook food on an open flame, an option that adds an extra satisfaction and enjoyment to a backyard gathering.
Chimineas are handmade and painted. They can fade when placed outside. If this is the case paint can be lightly sanded down and repainted with an exterior emulsion based paint, although this isn't typically required.
Certain clay chimeneas have chrome BBQ so you can cook on an open flame. This allows you to enjoy the ambiance of an open flame while cooking your meal and it adds a flavor that's not possible with gas or electric cookers.
Contrary to metal chimineas chimineas are much safer to touch when hot, as the temperature is spread over a wider area. This also helps prevent the clay's interior from absorbing too much heat and cracking. 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 most hot part and to create a uniform heat pattern.
Chimineas are a green alternative to gas grills and are suitable for a range of fuel types, including propane, natural gas and charcoal. They are especially efficient when used with aromatic hardwoods like Apple, Cherry and Yew which burn slowly, leaving the scent of a lovely fragrance and producing less ash. A chimenea must be covered when not in use to protect it from rain and snow as it may be hard to start a
fire pits and chimineas in the event that the clay gets wet.
Design
A clay chimenea can be an ideal addition to any patio. The clay is resistant to fire, and the design makes it easier to burn with a clean, smokeless flame.

Many chimineas have decorative detailing which enhances their design and provides a stunning finishing finish to your garden or patio. Chimeneas are a great option for anyone with a small space but who desires the warmth of a fire in the outdoor.
A chimenea is also used to cook. Some models come with an integrated barbecue that can be used to cook food on the flame. The adobe or clay material absorbs heat and radiates it outward. You don't have to construct a large fire to heat your food. They are also more easy than chimineas made of steel to maintain since they can be cleaned easily and are less likely to rust.

Function
Chimeneas are a great way to enjoy a fire in the outdoors in a secure manner. It will also add light and ambiance to your outdoor area. Since ancient times they have been used to provide warmth and light. Now you can use them as a focal point for your patio or garden. They are simple to use and are a great choice for those who don't want the dangers of an open flame but still want to enjoy the benefits.
Clay chimineas are made of kiln fired clay with an impervious glaze to ensure durability. They are made and fired in small local factories to help aid in the development of the communities and economy of Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures they are used to eliminate any organic or water content from the clay that is in its raw state. This decreases the chance of the clay cracking due to thermal shock.
A large portion of our chimineas are designed with cooking areas that allow you to grill food over the flame. This is a fantastic option for those who love cooking while entertaining at the same time. It can add a fun element to your dinners.
When you are first starting to use your chiminea it is recommended to start with an initial small fire before you slowly increase the size of the fire. This is crucial because the clay acts as a radiator, and should you start with a large fire the temperature will rise too quickly. This can cause cracks in the clay because it isn't accustomed to the heat.
Wrapped With Iron is one of the many designs within our
large chiminea clay range. This design is based on the classic clay look of Mexican pottery with an iron accent on the lid and the stack. This model comes with a stand that is removable and chimney cover.
We also have the Honeycomb design clay chiminea that provides a more contemporary fire pit with a crossed pattern on the stack and bowl. The model is lighter in color with softer tones and includes a chimney cover that can be removed and a stand.
Maintenance
Chimineas, made of clay, are susceptible to cracking. This is a minor issue, but it could cause a negative impact on the appearance and performance. It is essential to maintain the chiminea correctly in order to prevent this. This means cleaning it regularly and applying a sealant that is protective. It is also essential to store your chiminea properly to avoid damage from the cold and humidity.
One of the main reasons for cracks in a chiminea is poor handling. Be careful when handling a chiminea since it is a large piece fine china. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that is likely to ignite, or firing it while it is hot. One dealer told me that he did not warrant his chimineas against breakage, because they were often broken by careless handling before they were fired!
Another reason for cracks on chimineas is using water to put out the fire. Clay is sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations and pouring hot water over the chiminea made of clay can cause thermal shock and stress cracks. The best method to extinguish the fire in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally or employ sand.
When you are buying an newest chiminea, it is important to choose one that has an appropriate stand. It will be easier for you to clean, and it will look nicer in your garden. Chimineas without stands are difficult to move, especially if the weather is wet or windy. It is recommended to purchase an instrument to help move the logs and a brush to remove the ash and soot.
When you first purchase your chiminea, it should be "cured" (broken into) slowly. Start by lighting
small chiminea fires, then increase the size of the logs gradually. In this period, the clay will become more resistant to cracks and will become more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea will also be more efficient in holding a larger, more controlled fire.
