Clay chimineas are made from fired clay that has been kiln-fired and coated with a waterproof glaze that ensures durability. They are made and fired in small, local factories to aid in the development of the communities and economy 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 chance of cracking the clay because of thermal shock.

A large portion of our chimineas have cooking areas that allow you to grill food over the flame. This is a great choice for those who like to cook while entertaining at the same time. It can make for a fun addition to your meals.

When you first begin to use your chiminea, it is always best to build an initial small fire before you slowly increase the size of the fire.

Maintenance

Chimineas are constructed from clay, which is susceptible to cracking. While this is typically an issue of minor importance but it can affect the appearance and function of the chiminea. To avoid this, it is important to take care of your chiminea. Cleaning it frequently and sealing it with sealant is an integral part of this. It is also important to properly store your chiminea to prevent damage from cold temperatures and moisture.

One of the primary reasons for cracks in a chiminea can be due to careless handling. Handle a chiminea with care since it is a large piece fine china. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could cause it to burn or firing it when it's hot. A dealer once told me that the dealer didn't even provide a guarantee for his chimineas for breakage because most of them were broken because of poor handling before they were fired once!

The use of water to put out a fire is another common cause of cracks in Chimineas. Clay is susceptible to sudden temperature fluctuations and pouring hot water onto a clay chiminea could cause stress cracks and thermal shock. The best method to extinguish the chiminea is to let the fire die naturally, or to use sand to extinguish it in a safe manner.

It is important to buy the chiminea with an element of base. It is easier to clean and will make it more attractive in your yard. Chimineas without stands can be difficult to move, particularly when the weather is windy or rainy. You can also buy a poker that will help you move the logs, and a brush to remove soot and ash.

You must "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly as you first purchase it. Start with small fires, and then increase the size of logs gradually. As you progress the clay will become more mature and less susceptible to cracks. A seasoned chiminea will also be more effective at holding a larger, more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you are able to start making full-size fires with confidence. But, it's vital to keep track of the size of your fire and to not allow it to grow too large or out of control.
