Clay Chiminea Large

Clay chimineas are a great way to enjoy an outdoor fire. They are more fragile than iron ones and require a special treatment to make sure they last for many years.

Before you use your Chiminea for the first time, make sure you fill it with sand about 3-4 inches below the chiminea's mouth. This protects the chiminea from direct contact with flame during the initial few fires and allows it to season.

Material

Clay chimineas have been used for around four hundred years to gather for food and conversation and also to warm the home. They are generally made of terracotta, but they can also be made of other materials like cast iron or steel.

Cast iron is more durable than terracotta, and is less susceptible to being damaged by sudden temperature changes. However, it is susceptible to cracks or break easily if it is not shielded from rain and snow. Terracotta is more delicate, but gives the chiminea an authentic Mexican appearance.

It is essential to cure your new clay chiminea prior to using it for the very first time. This will stop it from cracking from the sudden change in temperature of the fire. This is done by adding two to three inches (or more) of river sand to the bottom of the chiminea. Start with small pieces and increase the size of the wood gradually. After a few brief flames, your clay will be ready for use.

Clay chimineas are often sealed to help prevent moisture from destroying them over time. This is a great idea for any outdoor fire pit, but it's especially essential for clay chimineas because the clay absorbs water, and when exposed to it too often, it can crack.

Chimineas made of clay are less likely to crack compared to metal chimineas. However, they still need to be treated with care to avoid moisture damage. Clay chimineas should be covered when not used and should not be kept inside. Moisture can cause the clay to crack or break.

Clay chimineas are more heavy than other chimineas, and should be set on a base designed for outdoor fire pits. This can be accomplished by putting a patio hearth on a wooden patio or deck. It provides a safe zone from the dangers of fire. The hearth in the patio can be built using bricks or pavers and should be at least a 3-by-4-foot area. If you don't want to build a hearth for your patio you can put the chiminea on a level patch of garden soil, however this is not recommended because it could crack or break the chiminea with time.

Size

Chimineas are becoming more popular, they create the perfect environment for outdoor relaxation but also provide a lot of heat which makes them perfect to use when cooking or simply having fun with friends and family.

They are one of the most versatile garden tools available and can be used for a variety reasons, such as cooking, heating lighting, and decoration.

Chimineas are brittle and susceptible to cracking due to the fact that they have to be able to withstand fluctuations in temperature and moisture. Therefore, it is essential to take care of them properly. It is always an excellent idea to purchase an enclosure for them, since it protects them from damage caused by rain, which could cause them to become weaker and crack with time. It's also a good idea to put some Gardeco lava stone or 50mm of sand at bottom of your chimenea. This will protect it from direct heat and stop the hottest part directly touching the clay which can cause it crack.

It is recommended to put a cap on the clay to prevent water seepage which again could cause them to weaken and crack over time. Chimeneas with caps made of clay may be a bit more costly but they'll last longer. It is also an excellent idea to keep them away from flammable objects since this could result in an accident. Also, not place them in windy areas because this could cause smoke to move in unintended directions which may make it difficult to use.
