Contrary to metal chimineas is much more safe to touch if they are hot because the temperature is spread over a wider area. This also helps to prevent the inner clay from cracking due too much heat.

Design

Clay chimineas are constructed from kiln fired clay with a waterproof glaze to ensure the durability. They are produced and fired in small local factories that aid communities and the economy of Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures, they are used to eliminate any organic or water-based content in the raw clay. This reduces the chances of cracking the clay due to thermal shock.

Many of our larger chimineas have an area for cooking that allows you to grill food on the flame. This is an excellent option for those who want to cook and entertain simultaneously. It can add a touch of fun and flavour to your dinners with your family and friends.

When you first begin to use your chiminea indoor, it is best to start with the fire in a small area and gradually increase the size of the fire. It is crucial to start small because the clay acts like a radiator. If you start large the temperature will increase quickly. The clay could crack because it's not able to absorb the heat.

Maintenance

Chimineas made of clay, are prone to cracking. While this is typically a minor problem but it can affect the appearance and performance of the chiminea. To avoid this from happening, it's important to maintain your chiminea properly. This includes cleaning it regularly and using a protective sealant. It is also essential to properly store your chiminea to avoid damage due to extreme temperatures and moisture.

One of the main causes for cracks in a chiminea is poor handling. Chimineas are like an enormous piece of fine china, and must be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it, touching anything that can cause it to be burned or firing it when it's hot. One dealer I spoke to said he did not warrant his chimineas against breakage, since they were frequently broken by careless handling even before they were fired up!

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

If you are purchasing an all-new Chiminea, it is crucial to pick one that comes with an accompanying stand. It will be easier to clean and make it more attractive in your backyard. Chimineas with no stands can be difficult to move, especially when it's rainy or windy. You can also buy a poker that will help you move the logs, and a brush for getting rid of soot and ash.

When you first purchase your chiminea it must be "cured" (broken into) slowly. Start by lighting small fires, then increase the size of your logs gradually. In this process the clay will get more mature and less susceptible to cracks. A seasoned chiminea will also be able to hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you can start making full-size fires with confidence. It is crucial to keep an an eye on the size of the fire to ensure that it does not become out of control.
