Size

Chimeneas can be the perfect size for many gardens and patios. The clay structure radiates warmth and creates a warm atmosphere. They also serve as wood burning stoves, consuming a variety of aromatic hardwoods that produce gorgeous natural scents.

For smaller areas, designs that taper to the chimney are ideal. Some are available in a number of attractive colors that add a decorative touch. They can be used to cook food on an open flame, an option that adds an extra satisfaction and enjoyment to a backyard gathering.

Chimineas were handmade and painted by hand. They can discolor when used or placed outside. If this is the case, the paint can be lightly sanded down and then repainted using an external emulsion based paint, although this isn't typically necessary.

Chimineas made from clay have a larger surface area than chimineas made from metal. This makes them more safe to touch when hot. This also helps to prevent the clay's interior from cracking due excessive heat.

Chimineas offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to gas barbecues. Chimineas can be used with various fuels such as natural gas, propane chiminea, and charcoal. Chimineas are especially effective when employed with aromatic woods, such as Apple, Cherry, and Yew, which burn slowly and produce less ash. Cover the chimenea when it is not in use. This will protect it from snow or rain.

Design

A clay chimenea is a fantastic addition to any patio. The clay is fireproof and the design allows for an uncluttered, non-smoking flame.

A number of chimineas come with decorative details which enhances their design and adds a stunning touch to your patio or garden. Chimeneas are an ideal choice for those who have a small space and who want the warmth of a fireplace outdoors.

A chimenea can also be used for cooking. Some models have an integrated grill that can be used for barbecuing food over the flame.

They have been used for centuries to provide warmth and warmth but they are now used to create a stunning focal point in your garden or patio area. They are easy to use, and are a great option for those who do not want the dangers of open flames but still want the benefits.

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

Many of our larger chimineas are designed with cooking areas that allow you to cook food over the flame. This is a fantastic feature for those who like to cook and entertain simultaneously and will add an extra element of fun and flavor to dinners with friends and family.

It is best to start with a small flame at first when you are using your chiminea. Then gradually increase the size. It is crucial to start small as the clay acts like a radiator. If you begin with a larger size, the temperature will quickly rise. The clay may crack if it's not exposed to the heat.

Maintenance

Chimineas made from clay, are prone to cracking. While this is typically not a major issue, it can affect the appearance and functionality of the chiminea. It is essential to maintain the chiminea correctly to avoid this. This means cleaning it frequently and applying a sealant that is protective. It is also important to store your chiminea properly to prevent damage from cold temperatures and moisture.

One of the primary reasons for cracks in a chiminea can be due to careless handling. Chimineas are like an enormous piece of fine china, and must be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could cause it to be burned or firing it while it's hot. One dealer told me that he did not warrant his chimineas from breaking because they were often broken due to careless handling, even before they were fired up!

Using water to extinguish a fire is another common reason for cracks in chimineas. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature changes, and pouring water on the chiminea can cause stress fractures and thermal shock. The best way to put out a largest chiminea is to allow the fire die naturally, or to make use of sand to put it out without risk.

When you are buying a new chiminea, it is important to select one that comes with an accompanying stand. It is easier to clean and enhance the look of your backyard. Chimineas with no stands can be difficult to move, especially if it's windy or rainy. You can also purchase a poker to help you move the logs, and a brush for removing soot and ash.

You should "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly as you first purchase it. Start with small fires, and then increase the size of the logs gradually. In this process the clay will get seasoned and more resistant to cracks. A seasoned chiminea is also able to provide a bigger and more controlled fire pits and chimineas. After three or four small flames, it is possible to be capable of starting a large fire with confidence. But, it's important to monitor the size of your fire and to not allow it to become too big or get out of control.
