Clay chimineas are made from kiln-fired clay that is coated with a waterproof layer to ensure durability. They are made and fired in small local factories that help support communities and the economy of Mexico. Kiln-fired to high temperatures, they are used to remove any organic or water-based content in the clay in its raw form. This minimizes the possibility of the clay cracking because of thermal shock.

Many of our larger Chimineas come with cooking areas that allow you to grill food over the flame. This is a great feature for those that like to cook and entertain simultaneously and can add a touch of enjoyment and flavor to the meals you have with family and friends.

When you first begin to use your chiminea it is always best to build the fire in a small area and gradually increase the size of the fire.

Maintenance

Chimineas, which are made of clay, are prone to cracking. While this is typically not a major issue but it can affect the appearance and functionality of the chiminea. It is crucial to keep the chiminea clean to avoid this. This means cleaning it frequently and using a protective sealant. Store your chiminea correctly to avoid damage from the elements and cold temperatures.

Careless handling is one of the most common causes cracks in cast aluminum chiminea. Handle a chiminea with care because it is a huge piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it, touching anything that can cause it to burn or firing it while it's hot. A dealer once told me that he couldn't even warrant his chimineas against breaking because most of them were broken because of poor handling before they were fired up once!

The use of water to put out fires is another frequent reason for cracks in chimineas. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature changes and pouring water on the chiminea can cause thermal shock and stress fractures. The best way to safely put out the flame in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally, or use sand.

When you purchase an newest Chiminea, it is crucial to pick one that has a stand. It will be easier to clean, and it will look better in your garden.

You should "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly when you purchase it for the first time. Start with small fires, and then increase the size of logs gradually. In this period the clay will get more resistant to cracks and seasoned. A seasoned chiminea will also provide a bigger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, it is possible to begin to make larger fires with confidence. It is important to keep watch on the size of the fire to ensure that it doesn't get out of hand.
