Clay chimineas must be protected from the elements. If left exposed to cold and rain, the chiminea of clay may get softer or crack.

Chimineas to be used regularly should be filled 50mm with Sand or Gardeco Lava Stones (see Accessories above). This will reduce the contact between chimineas's direct flames. It also helps the clay material get used to generate heat in a staggered manner.

Size

A chimenea is the ideal size for most patios and gardens. The clay structure heats up and radiates warmth into the area, creating a warm flame and an ambiance. They also serve as wood-burning stoves, efficiently consuming a variety of aromatic woods that emit beautiful natural aromas.

Smaller designs that taper to a chimney are ideal for smaller spaces. Some come in attractive colors, which can be used as a decorative element. They can be used to cook food over an open fire which adds a new level of enjoyment to a backyard gathering.

Chimineas are handmade and painted. They may discolor when placed outside. If this is the case paint can be lightly sanded down and repainted using an exterior emulsion based paint, although this isn't normally necessary.

Some clay chimeneas are equipped with a chrome BBQ so you can cook on an open flame. This lets you enjoy the ambiance of a flame while cooking your meal and it adds an extra layer of flavour that isn't feasible with electric or gas cookers.

Contrary to metal chimineas Chimineas are more safe to touch if they are hot, as the temperature is spread out across a larger surface. This also helps to prevent the clay's interior from cracking due to too much heat. It is recommended to put 50mm of sand (or Gardeco lava stone) at the bottom to prevent the clay from coming in contact with the hottest part and to create an even heat pattern.

Chimineas provide a green alternative to gas barbecues. Chimineas can be used with a variety of fuels such as propane, natural gases and charcoal. Chimineas are especially effective when employed with aromatic woods, such as Apple, Cherry, and Yew that burn slow and produce less ash. Cover the chimenea when not in use. This will protect it from snow or rain.

Design

A clay chimenea is a wonderful addition to any patio. The clay material is fire-resistant, and the design makes it easier to burn without smoke or a clean flame. They're constructed with a broad base that tapers to a chimney and stack. The chimney catches the flame and holds it up so that it can warm your outdoor space. Many chimineas have decorative detailing that enhance their appearance and provides a stunning finishing touch to your garden or patio. A chimenea is a great choice for anyone with limited space but who desires the warmth of an outdoor fire.

A chimenea is also used to cook. Some models have built-in grills that can be used to grill food over the fire. The clay or adobe material absorbs 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 more easy than chimineas made of metal to maintain because they are easy to clean and are less susceptible to rust.

Function

A chimenea is a great method to enjoy a fire outside in a safe manner. It can also add the appearance of light and ambience to your outdoor space. Since centuries, they have been used to provide warmth and light. Now you can use them as a focal point for your garden or patio. They are simple to operate and a good alternative for those looking to enjoy the benefits of a fire pit outdoors without the dangers of an open flame.

Clay chimineas are made of kiln fired clay with an impervious glaze to ensure long-lasting durability. They are produced and fired in small local factories that support communities and the economy of Mexico. Kiln-fired to high temperatures, they are used to eliminate any organic or water content in the clay that is in its raw state. This reduces the chances of cracking the clay due to thermal shock.

A lot of our larger models come with an area for cooking where you can cook food on the fire. This is an excellent feature for those that like to cook and entertain at the same time and will add an extra element of fun and flavour to dinners with friends and family.

When you first begin to use your chiminea, it is best to start with the fire in a small area and gradually increase the size of the fire. It is crucial to start small since the clay acts as an electric radiator. If you begin with a larger size the temperature will rise quickly. This could cause cracks in the clay as it is not accustomed to the temperature.

There are a variety of different designs in our huge clay chiminea range including the Wrapped With cast iron chiminea. It has the traditional clay look of Mexican pottery, with an iron accent on the stack and lid. This design comes with a stand that is removable and chimney cover.

We also have the Honeycomb design clay chiminea which gives a modern-looking fire pit with a cross pattern on the bowl and stack. The model is lighter in color with soft tones and comes with a removable chimney cover and stand.

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 maintain the chiminea correctly in order to prevent this. Cleaning it regularly and using sealant is part of this. Store your chiminea fire pit correctly to avoid damage from the elements and cold temperatures.

Handling with care is among the most common causes cracks in chiminea indoor. A chiminea is like a huge piece of china, and should be handled with care. Avoid dropping it, touching anything that can cause it to burn, or firing it when it's hot. One dealer I spoke to said he could not assure his chimineas against breaking, since they were frequently broken by careless handling even before they were fired up!

The use of water to put out fires is another frequent cause of cracks in chimineas. Clay is prone to sudden temperature fluctuations, and pouring hot water over a clay chiminea could cause thermal shock and stress cracks. The best way to extinguish the chiminea is to let the fire naturally die or to employ sand to extinguish it safely.

It is important to buy an chiminea with a base. It will be simpler to clean, and it will look better in your garden. Chimineas that do not have stands can be difficult to move, particularly if it's rainy or windy. It is recommended to purchase a poker to assist you in move the logs and a brush to get rid of soot and ash.

You must "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly as you first buy it. Start with small fires, and then increase the size of the logs gradually. As time passes, the clay will become more resistant to cracks and more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is also more effective at holding a larger, well-controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you can begin to make larger fires with confidence. But, it's essential to be aware of the size of your fire and not allow it to get too big or out of control.
