Large Clay
Chimineas For SaleClay chimineas should be protected from the elements. If left exposed to rain and cold a clay chiminea can get softer or crack.
Chimineas that are regularly used should be filled with 50mm of sand or Gardeco Lava stones (see Accessories above). This helps reduce the contact between the chiminea's direct flames. It also assists the material get used to the gradual heat.
Size
Chimeneas are the perfect size for a variety of gardens and patios. The clay structure heats up and radiates the warmth into the area, generating a cozy flame and an ambiance. They can also be used as wood stoves. They use aromatic hardwoods to produce gorgeous natural scents.
The smaller designs that taper into a chimney work well for smaller spaces. Some are available in a number of attractive colors that add an aesthetic touch. They can be used to prepare food over an open fire and add an extra level of fun to a backyard gathering.
Chimineas are hand-crafted and painted, so they may discolor slightly over time or if kept outside for long periods of time. If this is the case paint could be lightly sanded and then repainted using an external Emulsion-based paint, though this isn't usually necessary.
Some clay chimeneas are supplied with a chrome BBQ grill, which allows you to cook food on an open flame. This allows you to take in the ambience of a flame while cooking and it adds a flavor that's not possible with gas or electric cookers.
In contrast to chimineas made of metal, clay Chimineas are more safe to touch if they are hot, as the temperature is spread over a wider surface. This will also prevent the inner clay from cracking because of too much heat. It is recommended to place 50mm of sand (or Gardeco lava stone) on the bottom of the bowl to prevent the clay from coming in contact with the hottest part and to create a uniform heat pattern.
Chimineas are an eco-friendly alternative to gas grills and can be used for a variety of fuel types like natural gas, propane and charcoal. Chimineas are especially effective when made with aromatic woods like Apple, Cherry, and Yew, which burn slowly and produce less ash. Cover the chimenea when it is not in use. This will shield it from snow or rain.
Design
A clay chimenea is a great addition to any patio. The clay material is fire-resistant, and the design allows it to burn with a clean, smokeless flame. They're constructed with a broad base that tapers to an elongated chimney and stack. The chimney is designed to hold the flame up high and allows it to warm your outdoor area. A lot of chimineas feature decorative details which enhances their design and adds a beautiful finishing look to your garden or patio. Chimeneas are a great option for those with a limited space, and who would like the warmth of a fireplace outdoors.
A chimenea is also ideal for cooking. Certain models have an integrated barbecue that can be used to cook food on the flame. The adobe material or clay material absorbs heat and radiates it outward. You don't need to construct a large fire to cook your food. They are also less difficult than chimineas made of metal to maintain since they can be cleaned easily and are less prone to rust.

They have been used for ages to provide warmth and warmth but they are now used to create a stunning focal point in your patio or garden area. They are easy to use and are a great choice for people who want the benefits of a fire pit outdoors without the dangers associated with an open flame.
Chimineas made of clay can be made of kiln-fired clay and coated with a waterproof layer to ensure their durability. They are produced and fired in small local factories that help support communities and the economy of Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures they are used to remove any organic or water-based content in the clay in its raw form. This reduces the chance of cracking in the clay as a result of thermal shock.
Many of our larger models have a cooking area where you can cook food over the flame. This is a great feature for those who like to cook and entertain simultaneously and will add a bit of enjoyment and flavor to the meals you have with friends and family.
It is recommended to start with a small fire when you first use your chiminea. Then gradually increase the size. This is because the clay acts as a radiator. Moreover, when you begin with a large flame, the temperature will rise too fast. The clay may crack if it's not able to absorb the heat.
There are a number of different designs in our large clay chiminea range including the Wrapped With Iron. It has the traditional clay look of Mexican pottery, with an iron accent on the lid and stack. This model also comes with a detachable chimney cover and stand.

Maintenance
Chimineas made of clay, are susceptible to cracking. This is a minor issue, but it could have a negative impact on the appearance and performance. To prevent this, it is important to keep your chiminea in good condition. Cleaning it regularly and using sealant is part of this. It is important to store your chiminea properly to avoid damage caused by extreme cold and moisture.
Careless handling is one of the most common causes of cracks in a
70-Inch Rustic Steel Chiminea with Rain Cap. A chiminea is like a large piece of fine china, and it should be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that can burn or fire it when it is hot. One dealer I spoke to said he did not guarantee his chimineas against breakage, since they were frequently broken by careless handling even before they were fired!
The use of water to put out the flame is another common reason for cracks in chimineas. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations, and pouring water on a chiminea causes stress fractures and thermal shock. The best method to end the fire in a chiminea is to let it die naturally, or employ sand.
It is crucial to buy the chiminea with an base. It is easier to clean and will enhance the look of your yard. Chimineas without stands can be difficult to move, particularly if the weather is windy or rainy. You can also buy an instrument that helps you move the logs, and a brush for removing soot and ash.
You should "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly when you first purchase it. Begin with small fires, and then gradually increase the size of your logs. As time passes, the clay will become more resistant to cracks and more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea can be able to hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you are able to begin to make larger fires with confidence. However, it is still essential to be aware of the size of your fire and not allow it to become too big or out of control.
