Clay chimineas are constructed from kiln fired clay with a waterproof glaze that ensures the durability. They are manufactured and fired in small local factories that aid communities and the economy of Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures they are used to remove any organic or water content in the raw clay. This decreases the chance of cracking the clay due to thermal shock.

Many of our larger chimineas are designed with a cooking area that allows you to grill food on the fire. This is a great option for those who like to cook while entertaining at the same time. It will make for a fun addition to your meals.

When you are first starting to use your chiminea it is always best to build a small fire and slowly increase the size of the fire. This is because the clay acts as a radiator and when you begin with a large fire, the temperature will increase too fast. This could cause cracks in the clay since it isn't used to the temperature.

Maintenance

Chimineas made from clay, are prone to cracking. While this is typically not a major issue however, it can impact the appearance and performance of the chiminea. It is essential to keep the chiminea clean to avoid this. Cleaning it frequently and using sealant is part of this. Keep your chiminea in a safe place to prevent damage from moisture and cold temperatures.

One of the main reasons for cracks in a chiminea can be due to careless handling. Chimineas are a large piece of fine china, and it should be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it, not 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 against breakage since most of them were broken due to careless handling before they were fired once!

Using water to extinguish fires is another frequent cause of cracks in Chimineas. Clay is sensitive to sudden temperature changes, and pouring hot water onto the chiminea made of clay can cause thermal shock and stress cracks. The best method to extinguish a chiminea fire pit is to allow the fire die naturally, or to use sand to extinguish it without risk.

It is essential to purchase a chiminea that comes with an base. It will be easier to clean and make it look more attractive in your backyard. Chimineas that do not have stands can be difficult to move, particularly when the weather is windy or rainy. You should also buy a poker to help you manipulate the logs and a brush to remove the ash and soot.

You must "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly when you first purchase it. Start with small fires and increase the size of logs gradually. As time passes the clay will get more resistant to cracks and more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is also able to hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you are able to begin to make larger fires with confidence. However, it is still essential to be aware of the size of your fire and to not allow it to become too big chiminea or out of control.
