Clay chimineas are constructed from clay fired in kilns and then coated with an impervious glaze to ensure durability.

Kiln-fired at high temperatures they are used to eliminate any organic or water content in the clay in its raw form. This reduces the chances of the clay cracking due to thermal shock.

Maintenance
Chimineas are made from clay, which is prone to cracking. Although this is usually a minor problem, it can affect the appearance and function of the chiminea. To avoid this, it is important to maintain your chiminea properly. Cleaning it regularly and using sealant is part of this. It is also important to store your
largest chiminea properly to prevent damage from the cold and humidity.
Handling with care is among the most common causes of cracks in a Chiminea. Be careful when handling a chiminea, as it is a large piece fine china. Avoid dropping it, letting it touch anything that can burn, or firing it while it is hot.

Another common cause of cracks on chimineas can be caused by using water to put out the fire. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations, and pouring water on the chiminea results in stress fractures and thermal shock. The best way to put out the chiminea is to let the fire die naturally or to use sand to extinguish it without risk.

After three or four small flames, you will be able to start a full-size fire with confidence. It is crucial to keep an watch on the size of the fire to ensure that it doesn't get out of hand.
