Function

Chimeneas are an excellent option to enjoy a fire outdoors in a safe way. It can also add illumination and ambiance to your outdoor space. They have been used for centuries to provide warmth and heat but they are now utilized as a beautiful focal feature in your patio or garden area. They are easy to use, and are a great option for those who do not want the dangers of open flames but still want to enjoy the benefits.

Clay chimineas are constructed from kiln-fired or kiln-baked clay and coated with a waterproof layer to ensure durability. They are made and fired in small local factories that support communities and the economy of Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures, they are used to eliminate any organic or water content from the clay in its raw form. This decreases the chance of the clay cracking due to thermal shock.

Many of our larger models include an area for cooking that allows you to grill food over the flame. This is a fantastic option for those who want to cook and entertain simultaneously and will add a bit of fun and flavor to your dinners with friends and family.

It is recommended to begin with a small fire pit with chiminea at first when you are using your chiminea, and then gradually increase the size. This is because the clay acts as a radiator. Moreover, if you start with a large fire, the temperature will rise too quickly. This could cause cracks in the clay as it isn't accustomed to the heat.

Maintenance

Chimineas, made from clay, are prone to cracking. This is a minor problem, but it could cause a negative impact on the appearance and performance. To avoid this from happening, it is essential to keep your chiminea in good condition. This includes cleaning it regularly and applying a sealant that is protective. It is also important to properly store your chiminea to avoid damage due to cold temperatures and moisture.

Handling with care is among the most common causes of cracks in a Chiminea. Chimineas are like a large piece of fine china, and should be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that can burn, or firing it while it is hot. One dealer I spoke to said he could not assure his chimineas against breakage, because they were often broken by careless handling before they were fired up!

Another common cause of cracks on chimineas can be caused by using water to extinguish the fire. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature changes and pouring water on a top rated chiminea causes stress fractures and thermal shock. The best way to extinguish the chiminea is to let the fire naturally die or to employ sand to extinguish it without risk.

It is essential to purchase the chiminea with a base. It will be simpler to clean and will enhance the look of your yard. Chimineas without stands are difficult to move, especially if the weather is windy or rainy. You can also buy a poker to help you move the logs and a brush for removing soot and ash.

When you first purchase your chiminea, it needs to be "cured" (broken in) slowly. Start with small fires and gradually increase the size of your logs. In this process the clay will get seasoned and more resistant to cracks. A seasoned chiminea will also be more efficient in holding a larger, well-controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you can start making full-size fires with confidence. But, it's vital to keep track of the size of your fire, and not allow it to get too large or out of control.
