Clay chimineas need to be protected from the elements. Clay chimineas can be damaged or brittle when exposed to the rain and cold.

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

Size

Chimeneas can be the ideal size for many patios and gardens. The clay structure radiates heat and creates a cozy atmosphere. They also serve as wood burning stoves, efficiently consuming a variety of aromatic hardwoods that give beautiful natural aromas.

Smaller designs that taper to a chimney work well for smaller areas. Some are available in attractive colors, which can be used as an aesthetic element. They can be used to cook food over an open flame, an option that adds an extra satisfaction and enjoyment to the experience of an outdoor gathering.

Chimineas are hand-crafted and painted which means they can fade slightly over time or if left outside all the time. If this is the case, the paint can easily be sanded and painted again with an exterior emulsion-based paint. This isn't usually required.

Some clay chimeneas come with chrome BBQ so you can cook on an open flame. This allows you to enjoy the ambiance of an open flame while cooking and it adds an extra layer of flavour that isn't possible with electric or gas cookers.

Clay chimineas have a much larger surface area than chimineas made from metal. This makes them safer to touch while they are hot. This also helps prevent the clay inside from absorbing too much heat and fracturing. It is recommended to put 50mm of sand (or Gardeco lava stone) on the bottom of the bowl to prevent the clay from coming into contact with the most hot part and to create an even heat pattern.

Chimineas are an environmentally friendly alternative to gas grills and are suitable for a wide variety of fuel types including natural gas, propane and charcoal. Chimineas work best when employed with aromatic woods like Apple, Cherry, and Yew that burn slower and produce less ash. Cover the chimenea if it is not in use. This will protect it from snow or rain.

Design

A clay chimenea can be a great addition to any patio. The clay is resistant to fire and the design allows for an uncluttered, non-smoking fire. The base is broad and is shaped to form an chimney. The chimney is designed to hold the flame up high and allows it to warm the outdoor area. Many chimineas feature decorative details that add to their appearance, adding a beautiful finishing design to your garden or patio. Chimeneas are a great option for those who have a small space and who want the warmth of a fire outdoors.

A chimenea is also ideal for cooking. Some models have a built-in grill that can be used to grill food over the fire. The adobe material or clay material absorbs heat and radiates outward. You don't need to construct a large fire to heat your food. They are also easier than metal chimineas to maintain because they are easy to clean and are less prone to corrosion.

Function

A chimenea is a great method to enjoy a fire outside in a safe manner. It also adds the appearance of light and ambience to your outdoor space. They have been used for ages to provide warmth and heat but they are now utilized as a beautiful focal point in your garden or patio area. They are easy to use and are a great choice for people who want the advantages of an outdoor fire without the dangers associated with an open flame.

Clay chimineas are made of kiln fired clay with a waterproof glaze that ensures long-lasting durability. They are crafted and fired in small local factories to help aid in the development of the communities and economy of Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures, they are used to remove any organic or water-based content in the clay in its raw form. This reduces the chance of cracking the clay because of thermal shock.

A lot of our larger chimineas are designed with an area for cooking that allows you to grill food on the flame. This is a great option for those who want cooking while entertaining simultaneously. It can make for a fun addition to your dinners.

It is best to start with a small flame at first when you are using your chiminea and then gradually increase the size. It is crucial to start small because the clay acts like an electric radiator. If you begin with a large, the temperature will rise quickly. This can cause cracks in the clay since it is not accustomed to the temperature.

Wrapped With Iron is one of the many designs in our extensive range of clay. This design is based on the classic clay look of a Mexican pottery, but with an iron accent on the lid and stack. This design also comes with a detachable chimney stand and cover.

We also have the Honeycomb design clay chiminea that provides a more contemporary fire pit with a crossed pattern on the bowl and the stack. This model is lighter in color with soft tones and comes with a removable chimney cover and stand.

Maintenance

Chimineas are constructed from clay, which is prone to cracking. Although this is usually not a major issue but it can affect the appearance and functionality of the chiminea. It is crucial to keep the chiminea in good condition in order to prevent this. Cleaning it frequently and sealing it with sealant is an integral part of this. It is important to store your chiminea large properly to avoid damage caused by extreme cold and moisture.

Handling with care is among the main causes of cracks in a Chiminea. Chimineas are like a huge piece of china, and should be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it or letting it touch anything that can burn or ignite it while it is hot. A dealer once told me that he couldn't even warrant his chimineas for breakage because the majority of them broke due to careless handling before they were fired up once!

Using water to extinguish the flame is another common cause of cracks in Chimineas. Clay is sensitive to sudden temperature changes and pouring hot water on the chiminea made of clay can cause thermal shock and stress cracks. The best way to put out a chiminea is to allow the fire naturally die or to make use of sand to put it out safely.

If you are purchasing an all-new Chiminea, it is crucial to pick one that comes with an accompanying stand. It will be simpler to clean, and it will look nicer in your garden. Chimineas that do not have stands can be difficult to move, especially if it is windy or rainy. You can also purchase an instrument that helps you move the logs and a brush for removing soot and ash.

You must "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly after you first purchase it. Start by lighting small fires, then increase the size of your logs gradually. As you progress the clay will become more seasoned and resistant to cracks. A seasoned chiminea will also be more efficient at holding a larger, more controlled fire. After three or four small flames, you'll be capable of starting a large fire with confidence. However, it is important to monitor the size of your fire and to not allow it to become too big chiminea or out of control.
