Fuel

The kind of fuel used in a Chiminea could significantly affect the amount of smoke generated by the appliance. This could also impact its use. A lot of smoke can disturb neighbours, and even result in complaints about nuisance. Kiln-dried wood is an excellent option since it releases low levels of smoke, and is efficient in burning. It is a better option than fossil fuels such as charcoal, which produce large amounts of smoke.

Add a few twigs and newspapers when you start a fire to create a strong draft. Also, ensure that you place sand or fire-safe pavers under the chiminea as it will quickly get extremely hot, especially when adding more coals. Also, do not place flammable objects within close proximity to the chiminea or around it after it has been fired up, as sparks and embers can spread quickly and cause fire dangers.

Chimineas should be set on a fire-safe, sturdy outdoor surface, like brick, concrete or stone patio. It must not be placed on a wooden deck, as the sudden change in temperature can break clay or terracotta chimineas, and damage metal ones. It is also recommended to keep the chiminea far away from trees that could be blown over, or from structures like sheds.

Carbon monoxide vapors that are released from burning charcoal or wood can be lethal. These fumes have no smell or taste, which is why they are difficult to recognize. People who breathe them in could lose consciousness within seconds and may not regain consciousness. These fumes are highly explosive and can cause a fire in your roof or other building.

Clay chimineas can easily crack or break if they are handled incorrectly. Contrary to metal chimineas, which are easy to repaint a clay chiminea requires special care to guard it from damage and extend its lifespan.

Chimineas must be kept away from branches that hang low, overhanging trees and other flammable structures. It should be set on a base that's non-flammable, such as 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 ensures that the fire is burning without danger and reduces the risk of structural issues.

Cleaning the big chiminea's interior and grill after each use is an essential step to take in maintaining. While it is tempting to just wipe it down with an ordinary cloth, using a specialized cleaning product is essential. The best product is one that was specifically designed for outdoor use, and can withstand high temperatures.

After the first few times you light in a chiminea that you have just purchased, you need to allow it to "cure". This is a process where you gradually increase the heat for approximately an hour, and then let it die naturally. This helps the clay adjust to the higher temperatures of regular combustion and avoids cracking or breakage.

Make use of a grate inside the chiminea to limit the size of the flame and avoid the accumulation of ash. Rock sand, pea gravel or chiminea rocks are good options for this purpose. To ensure that the clay is not damaged create a fire that is less than the chiminea's capacity.

Finally, a chiminea must be covered when not in use to protect it from water damage. Rain or snow can cause rusting on metal chimineas and it is not uncommon for the clay to break when exposed to moisture. The majority of dealers sell covers for your indoor chiminea. This is a good investment.
