In contrast to chimineas made of metal, clay Chimineas are safer to touch when they are hot, as the temperature is spread out across a larger surface. This helps to prevent the inner clay from taking in too much heat and cracking. It is recommended to put 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see Accessories below) on the bottom of the chimenea to minimize the contact of the clay with the most hot part of the fire and also to create a staggered pattern of heat.
Chimineas provide a green alternative to gas barbecues. Chimineas can be used with a variety of fuels such as natural gas, propane and charcoal.

Function
Chimeneas are a safe method to enjoy an outdoor fire and can also add ambiance and light 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 garden or patio. They are simple to use, and are a great option for those who do not want the dangers of a flame but still want the benefits.
Clay chimineas can be made from kiln-fired clay that is coated with a waterproof coating to ensure durability. They are manufactured and fired in small local factories that aid the economy and communities in 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 reduces the chances of cracking the clay due to thermal shock.
A large portion of our chimineas are designed with cooking areas that allow you to grill food on the fire. This is a fantastic option for those who love to cook while entertaining simultaneously. It will add a fun element to your meals.
When you are first starting to use your chiminea, it is best to start with an initial small fire before you slowly increase the size of the fire. This is important because the clay acts as a radiator and if you start with a large fire the temperature will increase too fast. This could cause cracks in the clay since it is not accustomed to the heat.
There are many different designs in our extensive clay chiminea collection, including the Wrapped With Iron. This design is based on the classic clay look of a Mexican pottery, but with an iron accent on the lid and stack. This model comes with a stand that is removable and chimney cover.
The Honeycomb clay Chiminea is a contemporary fire pit that has an elongated pattern on the bowl and the stack. The model is lighter in color with softer tones and includes a removable chimney cover and stand.
Maintenance
Chimineas, which are made from clay, are prone to cracking. This is not a major issue, but it could affect the appearance and functionality. It is crucial to keep the chiminea clean to avoid this. Cleaning it regularly and sealing it with sealant is a part of this. It is also essential to properly store your chiminea to prevent damage from cold temperatures and moisture.
One of the main causes for cracks in a chiminea can be due to careless handling. Chimineas are a huge piece of china, and must be handled with care. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that can burn or ignite it while it is hot. One dealer I spoke to said he could not assure his chimineas against breaking, because they were often broken by careless handling before they were fired up!
Another common cause of cracks on chimineas is using water to put out the fire. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature changes, and pouring water on a
chiminea outdoor fireplace causes stress fractures and thermal shock. The best method to end the
fire pit with chiminea in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally, or use sand.
If you are purchasing a new Chiminea, you need to pick one that has an accompanying stand. It will be simpler to clean and it will look better in your garden. Chimineas without stands are difficult to move, especially if the weather is stormy or rainy. You should also buy an instrument to help move the logs and a brush to get rid of soot and ash.
When you first purchase your chiminea, it should be "cured" (broken into) slowly. Begin with small fires, and then gradually increase the size of your logs. During this process, the clay will become more seasoned and resistant to cracks. A seasoned chiminea will also hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small flames, you'll be in a position to start a large fire with confidence. It is crucial to keep an watch on the size of the fire to ensure that it does not get out of control.
