Contrary to metal chimineas is much safer to touch when hot, as the temperature is spread over a wider area. This will also stop the clay's interior from cracking due to excessive heat.

Chimineas provide a green alternative to gas barbecues. Chimineas can be used with a variety of fuels such as natural gas, propane, and charcoal.

Function
Chimeneas are a safe way to enjoy a fire outside and will also add ambiance and illumination to your outdoor space. Since the beginning of time, they have been used to provide warmth and light. They are now able to serve as them as a focal point for your patio or garden. They are easy to use and a good option for those who want the benefits of a fire pit outdoors without the dangers of an open flame.
Clay chimineas can be constructed from kiln-fired or kiln-baked clay and coated with a waterproof coating to ensure durability. They are manufactured and fired in small chiminea local factories that help support communities and the economy in Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures, they are used to eliminate any organic or water content from the raw clay. This reduces the chance of cracking the clay because of thermal shock.
A lot of our larger models have the option of cooking areas where you can cook food on the fire pits and chimineas. This is an excellent option for those who want to cook and entertain at the same time and will add a bit of fun and flavor to dinners with family and friends.
It is best to start with a small fire when you first start using your chiminea. Then gradually increase the size. It is important to start small because the clay acts like an electric radiator. If you begin with a larger size, the temperature will increase quickly. The clay may crack if it's not exposed to the heat.

Maintenance
Chimineas, made from clay, are prone to cracking. Although this is usually not a major issue, it can affect the appearance and functionality of the chiminea. It is crucial to keep the chiminea clean in order to prevent this. This means cleaning it frequently and applying a sealant to protect it. Keep your chiminea in a safe place to prevent damage from extreme cold and moisture.
Unsafe handling is among the most frequent causes of cracks in a Chiminea. Take care when handling a chiminea, as it is a large piece fine china. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could burn it or firing it while it's hot. A dealer once told me that he couldn't even warrant his Ceramic chimineas against breakage since most of them were broken due to careless handling before they were fired up once!
Another reason for cracks on chimineas is using water to put out the fire. Clay is sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations, and pouring hot water over a clay chiminea with grill could cause stress cracks and thermal shock. The best way to safely extinguish the fire in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally, or use sand.
If you are purchasing an newest Chiminea, it is crucial to pick one that has an appropriate stand. It will be easier to clean and make it more attractive in your backyard. Chimineas without stands can be hard to move, particularly if it is windy or rainy. You should also purchase a poker to help you manipulate the logs and a brush to get rid of soot and ash.
You must "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly when you first purchase it. Begin with small fires, and gradually increase the size of your logs. In this process the clay will become more seasoned and resistant to cracks. A seasoned chiminea is also able to provide a bigger and more controlled fire. After three or four small flames, you'll be able to start a full-size fire 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.
