Clay chimineas are made of kiln-fired clay and coated with a waterproof layer to ensure their durability. They are made and fired in small local factories to help assist in the economic development and communities of Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures, they are used to remove any organic or water-based content in the raw clay. This decreases the risk of cracking in the clay as a result of thermal shock. A large portion of our chimineas are designed with an area for cooking that allows you to grill food over the flame. This is an excellent feature for those that like to cook and entertain simultaneously and will add a bit of fun and flavour to your dinners with friends and family. When you are first starting to use your chiminea it is always best to build an initial small fire before you slowly increase the size of the fire. This is important because the clay acts as a radiator, and should you start with a large fire, the temperature will rise too fast. This can crack the clay because it is not accustomed to the heat. There are a number of different designs to choose from in our extensive clay chiminea range including the Wrapped With Iron.

While this is typically an issue of minor importance however, it can impact the appearance and function of the chiminea. It is crucial to maintain the chiminea correctly to avoid this. Cleaning it regularly and using sealant is part of this. It is also essential to store your chiminea properly to avoid damage due to the cold and humidity. Careless handling is one of the most common causes cracks in Chiminea. Be careful when handling a chiminea because it is a substantial piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could cause it to be burned or firing it while it's hot. One dealer I spoke to said he could not assure his chimineas against breakage, since they were frequently broken due to careless handling, even after they were fired up! Another common cause of cracks on chimineas is using water to put out the fire. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature changes and the act of pouring water over the chiminea results in stress fractures and thermal shock. The best method to extinguish a chiminea is to allow the fire die naturally or to employ sand to extinguish it in a safe manner. It is important to buy a chiminea that comes with an element of base. It will be simpler to clean and will make it more attractive in your yard. Chimineas without stands can be difficult to move, particularly if the weather is stormy or rainy. It is recommended to purchase an instrument to help move the logs, and a brush for removing soot and ash. You must “cure” (break in) your chiminea slowly as you first buy it. Start with small fires, and then increase the size of the logs gradually. In this process, the clay will become seasoned and more resistant to cracks. A seasoned chiminea is also able to provide a bigger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, it is possible to start making full-size fires with confidence. But, it's important to monitor the size of your fire and not allow it to grow too large or out of control.
