Clay chimineas can be constructed from kiln-fired or kiln-baked clay and coated with a waterproof coating to ensure durability. They are manufactured and fired in small local factories that help support communities and the economy in Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures, they are used to eliminate any organic or water-based content in the raw clay. This minimizes the risk of cracking the clay due to thermal shock.

A lot of our larger Chimineas come with an area for cooking that allows you to grill food on the fire. This is a great option for those who want to cook and entertain simultaneously and will add an extra element of fun and flavor to the meals you have with your family and friends.

It is recommended to begin with a small fire at first when you are using your chiminea. Then gradually increase the size. This is important because the clay acts as a radiator. Moreover, if you start with a large fire the temperature will increase too fast. The clay could crack because it's not exposed to the heat.

Maintenance

Chimineas are constructed from clay, which is prone to cracking. While this is typically an issue of minor importance however, it can impact the appearance and function of the chiminea. It is important to maintain the chiminea correctly to avoid this. This means cleaning it frequently and using a protective sealant. Keep your chiminea in a safe place to avoid damage caused by extreme cold and moisture.

One of the main reasons for cracks in a chiminea can be due to careless handling. Chimineas are like a huge piece of china, and should be handled with care. Avoid dropping it, letting it touch anything that could ignite or ignite it while it is hot. One dealer I spoke to said he did not warrant his chimineas against breaking, because they were often broken by careless handling before they were fired!

Another common cause of cracks on chimineas is using water to extinguish the fire. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations, and pouring water on the chiminea can cause thermal shock and stress fractures. The best way to extinguish a chiminea is to let the fire die naturally or to employ sand to extinguish it without risk.

If you are purchasing an newest Chiminea, it is crucial to select one that has an accompanying stand. It will be simpler to clean and make it more attractive in your backyard.

You must "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly as you first buy it. Begin with small fires, and gradually increase the size of your logs. During this process the clay will get more seasoned and resistant to cracks. A seasoned chiminea is also able to hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you can start making full-size fires with confidence. However, it is vital to keep track of the size of your fire and to not allow it to get too big or get out of control.
