Chimineas made of clay should be protected from the elements. Clay chimineas can be damaged or brittle if left out in the rain and cold.

Chimineas used frequently should be filled with 50mm of sand or Gardeco Lava stones (see Accessories above). This will reduce the contact between chimineas's direct flames. It also allows the material to get used to the uneven heat.

Size

A chimenea is a great size for the majority of patios and gardens. The clay structure emits warmth and creates a warm atmosphere. They also serve as wood burning stoves, consuming a variety of aromatic hardwoods that produce gorgeous natural scents.

For smaller areas, designs that taper to the chimney are ideal. Some are available in attractive colors to add an aesthetic element. They can be used to cook food on an open flame, a feature that adds a new satisfaction and enjoyment to the experience of an outdoor gathering.

Chimineas were handmade and painted. They can fade when left outside. If this is a problem, the paint can be lightly sanded down and repainted with an exterior emulsion based paint, although this isn't normally required.

Some clay chimeneas are supplied with a chrome BBQ grill to allow you to cook food on a open flame. This allows you to take in the ambience of a flame while cooking your meal and it adds a flavor that's not feasible with electric or gas cookers.

Contrary to metal chimineas is much safer to touch when they are hot, as the temperature is spread over a wider surface. This will also stop the clay's interior from cracking because of too much heat. It is recommended to place 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see Accessories below) at the bottom of the chimenea to minimize the contact of the clay with the most hot part of the fire, and to create a staggered pattern of heat.

Chimineas offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to gas barbecues. Chimineas can be used with various fuels, including natural gas, propane, and charcoal. Chimineas are particularly effective when used with aromatic woods such as Apple, Cherry, and Yew that burn slower and produce less ash. Cover the chimenea when it is not in use. This will shield it from rain or snow.

Design

A clay chimenea can be a fantastic addition to any patio. The clay is fireproof and the design permits an uncluttered, non-smoking fire. They are constructed with a broad base that tapers to the chimney and stack. The chimney keeps the flame up high and allows it to warm your outdoor area. A lot of chimineas feature decorative details that enhance their appearance and provides a stunning finishing touch to your garden or patio. A chimenea can be a great option for those with limited space, and who would like the warmth of a fire outdoors.

A chimenea can also be used for cooking. Some models have an integrated grill that can be used for barbecuing food on the fire. The clay or adobe material absorbs the 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 less difficult than metal chimineas to maintain as they are easy to clean and are less likely to corrosion.

Function

Chimeneas provide a secure way to enjoy an outdoor fire and can also add ambiance and light to your outdoor space. Since the beginning of time, they have been used to provide warmth and light. Now you can use them as a focal point in your patio or garden. They are simple to use and are a good option for those who don't want the dangers of an open flame but still want to enjoy the benefits.

Chimineas made of clay can be made from kiln-fired clay that is coated with a waterproof coating to ensure long-lasting. They are made and fired in small local factories that help support communities and the economy of Mexico. They are fired at high temperatures to eliminate any organic or water-based material in the raw clay. This minimizes the possibility of cracking in the clay as a result of thermal shock.

A large portion of our chimineas are designed with cooking areas that allow you to grill food on the flame. This is a fantastic option for those who like cooking while entertaining simultaneously. It will bring a sense of fun to your dinners.

It is recommended to start with a small fire when you first use your chiminea. Then gradually increase the size. It is important to start small as the clay acts as a radiator. If you begin with a large the temperature will increase quickly. This can crack the clay as it isn't accustomed to the temperature.

Maintenance

Chimineas are constructed from clay, which is susceptible to cracking. This is a minor issue, but it can cause a negative impact on the appearance and functionality. To prevent this from happening, it's important to take care of your chiminea. This means cleaning it frequently and applying a sealant that is protective. Store your chiminea correctly to avoid damage from extreme cold and moisture.

Handling with care is among the most common causes cracks in Chiminea. Be careful when handling a steel chiminea, as it is a large piece fine china. Avoid dropping it, touching anything that can cause it to be burned, or firing it when it's hot. A dealer once told me the dealer didn't even provide a guarantee for his chimineas against breakage since the majority of them broke because of careless handling prior to the time they were fired up once!

Another reason for cracks in chimineas is the use of water to put out the fire. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations, and pouring water on the largest chiminea results in thermal shock and stress fractures. The most effective way to extinguish the fire in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally, or make use of sand.

If you are purchasing a new Chiminea, it is crucial to choose one that comes with an appropriate stand. It will be easier to clean and will look better in your garden. Chimineas that do not have stands can be difficult to move, especially if it's rainy or windy. You can also buy a poker to help you move the logs, and a brush to remove soot and ash.

You should "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly after you first purchase it. Start with small fires and increase the size of your logs gradually. During this process, the clay will become seasoned and more resistant to cracks. A seasoned big chiminea can provide a bigger and more controlled fire. After three or four small chiminea fires, you can begin making larger-sized fires with confidence. It is essential to keep an an eye on the size of the fire to ensure that it doesn't get out of hand.
