Clay chimineas are constructed from clay fired in kilns and then coated with an impervious glaze to ensure the durability. They are produced and fired in small local factories that support communities and the economy of Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures they are used to eliminate any organic or water content from the clay in its raw form. This minimizes the risk of the clay cracking due to thermal shock.
Many of our larger models include an area for cooking that allows you to grill food on the flame. This is a great option for those who want to cook and entertain at the same time and can add a touch of enjoyment and flavor to dinners with friends and family.
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 as the clay acts like an electric radiator. If you begin with a larger size, the temperature will increase quickly. This can crack the clay since it isn't used to the heat.

Maintenance
Chimineas, which are made of clay, are prone to cracking. This is not a major issue, but it could affect the appearance and performance. To avoid this, it is important to take care of your chiminea. Cleaning it regularly and sealing it with sealant is an integral part of this. It is also essential to properly store your chiminea to avoid damage due to the cold and humidity.
Unsafe handling is among the main causes cracks in Chiminea. Be careful when handling a chiminea, as it is a huge piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it or letting it touch anything that can burn or ignite it while it is hot. One dealer I spoke to said he did not guarantee his chimineas from breaking because they were often broken by careless handling before they were fired!
Another reason for cracks on chimineas is using water to put out the fire. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations and the act of pouring water over the chiminea results in thermal shock and stress fractures. The best way to safely extinguish the fire in a chiminea is to let it die naturally or make use of sand.
When you are buying an all-new Chiminea, you need to select one that comes with a stand. It will be easier to clean, and it will look nicer in your garden. Chimineas with no stands can be hard to move, especially if it is windy or rainy. It is recommended to purchase a poker to assist you in move the logs, and a brush for removing the ash and soot.
When you first purchase your chiminea it must be "cured" (broken in) slowly. Start with small fires and increase the size of your logs gradually. As time passes the clay will become more resistant to cracks and will become more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is also more efficient at holding a larger, controlled fire. After three or four small flames, you'll be in a position to start a large fire with confidence. But, it's important to monitor the size of your fire, and not allow it to become too large or get out of control.
