Large Clay Chimineas For SaleClay chimineas need to be protected from weather. If left exposed to rain and cold the chiminea of clay may be softer or break.
Chimineas that will be frequently used should be filled 50mm with Sand or Gardeco Lava Stones (see Accessories above). This helps reduce contact between the chiminea and the direct flames. It also helps the material get used to the gradual heat.
Size
Chimeneas are the perfect size for a variety of patios and gardens. The clay structure emits warmth and creates a warm atmosphere. They can also be used as wood stoves. They burn aromatic hardwoods to create gorgeous natural scents.
For smaller areas designs that taper towards the chimney are ideal. Some are available in attractive colors to add a decorative element. They can be used to cook food on an open flame, adding an extra level of fun to a backyard gathering.
Chimineas are painted by hand which means they can fade slightly when used or kept outside for long periods of time. If this is the case, the paint can be lightly sanded and repainted using an exterior emulsion based paint, although this isn't typically necessary.
Some clay chimeneas come with a chrome BBQ grill so you can cook food on an open flame. This lets you take in the ambience of a flame while cooking and it adds a layer of flavour that isn't possible with gas or electric cookers.
Unlike metal chimineas, clay
Chimineas are safer to touch when hot because the temperature is spread out across a larger surface. This also helps prevent the clay's interior from taking in too much heat and breaking. It is recommended to put 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see Accessories below) on the bottom of the chimenea, to reduce the contact of the clay with the hot part of the fire and also to create an uneven heat pattern.
Chimineas are an eco-friendly alternative to gas grills and are suitable for a range of fuel types, including
propane chiminea, natural gas and charcoal. They are particularly effective when they are used with aromatic hardwoods like Apple, Cherry and Yew which burn slowly, leaving a beautiful fragrance and producing less ash. A chimenea must be covered when it is not in use to shield it from rain and snow because it could be difficult to get a fire going if the clay becomes wet.
Design
A clay chimenea is a great addition to any patio. The clay is fire-resistant and the design allows for an uncluttered, non-smoking flame. They're constructed with a broad base that tapers into the chimney and stack. The chimney is designed to hold the flame at a high level and allows it to warm your outdoor space. A lot of chimineas come with decorative details that add to their appearance, adding a beautiful finishing design to your patio or garden. Chimeneas are a great option for anyone with a small space but who desires the warmth of an outdoor fire.
A chimenea is also great for cooking. Some models have built-in grills that can be used for barbecuing food over the flame. The adobe or clay material absorbs the heat and radiates it to the outside and you don't have to build a large fire to keep your food hot. They are also simpler to maintain than chimineas made of metal because they are more easily cleaned and aren't as susceptible to rust.

Function
Chimeneas are an excellent method to enjoy a fire outdoors in a secure manner. It can also add light and ambiance to your outdoor space. 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 people who don't want the dangers of a flame but still want the benefits.
Clay chimineas are constructed from kiln-fired or kiln-baked clay and coated with a waterproof coating to ensure durability. They are made and fired in small local factories to help support the economy and communities of Mexico. They are fired at high temperatures in order to eliminate any organic material or water in the raw clay. This minimizes the risk of the clay cracking due to thermal shock.
A large portion of our chimineas are designed with cooking areas that allow you to cook food over the flame. This is a great option for those who want to cook and entertain at the same time and will add a bit of fun and flavour to your dinners with family and friends.
When you first begin 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 because the clay acts as a radiator and should you start with a large flame, the temperature will rise too quickly. This can cause cracks in the clay because it isn't used to the temperature.
Wrapped With Iron is one of the many designs within our huge range of clay. This features the traditional clay look of Mexican pottery, with an iron accent on the lid and stack. This design comes with a removable stand and chimney cover.
We also have the Honeycomb design clay chiminea which offers a more modern looking fire pit with a crossed design on the bowl and stack. The model is lighter color and soft tones. It also includes an adjustable stand and chimney cover.
Maintenance
Chimineas are made from clay, which is prone to cracking. This is a minor problem, but it could have a negative impact on the appearance and performance. It is important to keep the chiminea clean to avoid this. This means cleaning it frequently and applying a sealant to protect it. It is also important to store your
steel chiminea properly to avoid damage from cold temperatures and moisture.
One of the main causes for cracks in a chiminea is careless handling. Chimineas are a large piece of fine china, and should be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it, touching anything that can burn it, or firing it when it's hot. A dealer once told me the dealer didn't even provide a guarantee for his chimineas for breakage because they were most likely to break because of careless handling prior to the time they were fired once!
Another reason for cracks on chimineas can be caused by using water to put out the fire. Clay is prone to sudden temperature fluctuations and pouring hot water over a clay
propane chiminea can cause thermal shock and stress cracks. The best way to extinguish a chiminea is to let the fire die naturally, or to make use of sand to put it out in a safe manner.
It is essential to purchase a chiminea that comes with a base. It will be simpler to clean and will look better in your garden. Chimineas without stands can be difficult to move, especially when the weather is windy or rainy. You can also purchase an instrument that helps you move the logs, and a brush for removing soot and ash.
When you first purchase your chiminea, it must be "cured" (broken in) slowly.
