They have been used for centuries to provide warmth and heat but they are now used to create a stunning focal point in your garden or patio area. They are simple to use, and are a great choice for people who don't want the dangers of an open flame but still want the benefits.
Clay chimineas are constructed from kiln-fired or kiln-baked clay and coated with a waterproof layer to ensure durability. They are produced and fired in small local factories that support the economy and communities in Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures they are used to eliminate any organic or water-based content in the clay in its raw form. This decreases the chance of cracking the clay due to thermal shock.
A large portion of our Chimineas come with cooking areas that allow you to grill food over the fire. This is a great feature for those that like to cook and entertain simultaneously. It will add an extra element of enjoyment and flavor to your dinners with your family and friends.
It is recommended 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 as a radiator. If you begin with a larger size, the temperature will increase quickly. This can crack the clay because it is not accustomed to the temperature.

Maintenance
Chimineas are constructed from clay, which is prone to cracking. While this is typically an issue of minor importance, it can affect the appearance and performance of the chiminea. To avoid this from happening, it's important to maintain your chiminea near me properly. This means cleaning it regularly and using a protective sealant. Keep your chiminea in a safe place to avoid damage from the elements and cold temperatures.
One of the primary reasons for cracks in a chiminea is careless handling. A chiminea is like a huge piece of china, and should be handled with care. Avoid dropping it, touching anything that can cause it to be burned or firing it when it's hot. A dealer once told me that he couldn't even warrant his chimineas against breaking because they were most likely to break because of poor handling before they were fired up once!
Using water to extinguish fires is another frequent cause of cracks in Chimineas. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations and the act of pouring water over the chiminea results in stress fractures and thermal shock. The best way to safely end the fire in a chiminea is to let it die naturally, or make use of sand.
It is crucial to buy the chiminea with a base. It will be simpler to clean, and it will look better in your garden. Chimineas with no stands can be difficult to move, particularly if it is windy or rainy. You can also buy a poker to help you move the logs and a brush for getting rid of soot and ash.
When you first purchase your chiminea it should be "cured" (broken in) slowly. Start with small fires and increase the size of logs gradually. In this process, the clay will become seasoned and more resistant to cracks. A seasoned chiminea is also more efficient in holding a larger, well-controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you are able to begin to make larger fires with confidence. It is important to keep in mind the size of the fire to ensure that it doesn't become out of control.
