Clay chimineas are made of clay fired in kilns and then coated with a waterproof glaze that ensures durability.

They are fired kiln-fired at high temperatures to remove any organic or water-based material in the raw clay. This decreases the risk of cracking in the clay as a result of thermal shock.

A lot of our larger Chimineas come with an area for cooking that allows you to grill food over the flame. This is a great option for those who want to cook and entertain at the same time and will add an extra element of enjoyment and flavor to the meals you have with family and friends.

When you first begin to use your chiminea, it is always best to build an initial small fire before you slowly increase the size of the fire pits and chimineas. It is essential to start small as the clay acts like a radiator. If you begin with a large, the temperature will rise quickly. This could cause cracks in the clay since it isn't accustomed to the temperature.

Maintenance

Chimineas, which are made from clay, are prone to cracking. This is a minor issue, but it could cause a negative impact on the appearance and functionality. It is crucial to keep the chiminea in good condition to avoid this. Cleaning it frequently and sealing it with sealant is an integral part of this. Store your chiminea correctly to avoid damage caused by extreme cold and moisture.

One of the main causes for cracks in a chiminea is careless handling. Handle a chiminea with care, as it is a huge piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it, touching anything that can burn or fire it when it is hot. A dealer once told me he didn't even guarantee his chimineas against breaking because they were most likely to break because of careless handling prior to the time they were fired up once!

The use of water to put out a fire is another common reason for cracks in chimineas. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations and pouring water on the chiminea results in thermal shock and stress fractures. The best method to extinguish the chiminea is to let the fire naturally die or to use sand to extinguish it in a safe manner.

It is important to buy an cast aluminium chiminea with an base. It will be simpler to clean and will make it more attractive in your yard.

When you first purchase your chiminea, it needs to be "cured" (broken in) slowly. Start by lighting small fires, then increase the size of your logs gradually. As time passes the clay will get more resistant to cracks and more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea can provide a bigger and more controlled fire. After three or four small flames, you'll be in a position to start a large fire with confidence. However, it is still important to monitor the size of your fire and to not allow it to get too big or out of control.
