They are simple to use and a good option for those who want the advantages of an outdoor fire without the dangers of an open flame.

Clay chimineas can be made from kiln-fired clay that is coated with a waterproof layer to ensure long-lasting. They are made and fired in small local factories that support the economy and communities of Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures, they are used to eliminate any organic or water content in the clay in its raw form. This reduces the chances of the clay cracking due to 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 feature for those who like to cook and entertain at the same time and will add an extra element of fun and flavour to dinners with your family and friends.

It is best to start with a small chiminea flame at first when you are using your chiminea and then gradually increase the size. This is important because the clay acts as a radiator. Moreover, when you begin with a large fire the temperature will increase too fast. This could cause cracks in the clay as it isn't used to the temperature.

Maintenance

Chimineas, made of clay, are susceptible to cracking. This is a minor problem, but it could cause a negative impact on the appearance and functionality. To prevent this, it is important to maintain your chiminea properly. Cleaning it frequently and sealing it with sealant is an integral part of this. It is also important to store your chiminea indoor properly to avoid damage due to the cold and humidity.

One of the main causes for cracks in a chiminea near me can be due to careless handling. Chimineas are like a huge piece of china, and should be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could ignite or fire it when it is hot. One dealer I spoke to said he did not guarantee his chimineas from breaking because they are often damaged by careless handling before they were fired up!

Another common cause of cracks in chimineas is the use of water to extinguish the fire. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature changes and pouring water on a chiminea causes thermal shock and stress fractures. The best way to extinguish the chiminea is to let the fire die naturally, or to make use of sand to put it out without risk.

It is essential to purchase the chiminea with an base. It is easier to clean and will make it more attractive in your backyard. Chimineas without stands can be difficult to move, especially if the weather is wet or windy. You can also purchase a poker to help you move the logs, and a brush for getting rid of soot and ash.

You must "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly when you first buy it. Start by lighting small fires, then increase the size of the logs gradually. In this period, the clay will become more resistant to cracks and will become more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is also able to provide a bigger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you are able to begin making larger-sized fires with confidence. But, it's essential to be aware of the size of your fire, and not allow it to get too big or out of control.
