Fuel

The type of fuel used in a Chiminea can influence the amount of smoke released by the appliance. It can also affect its usage. If too much smoke is released, it can affect neighbors and cause complaints from the government about nuisance. Kiln-dried wood is an excellent option because it emits very low levels of smoke, and burns efficiently. It is more secure than fossil fuels such as charcoal, which release huge amounts of smoke and have a higher impact on the environment.

Add newspaper and small twigs when starting a fire to create a strong draft. Put pavers or sand that are fire-safe underneath the chiminea as it can get very hot. This is particularly relevant when you add more coals. Also, avoid placing anything that is flammable close to the chiminea, or even near it after firing it up, as sparks and embers can spread quickly and cause fire dangers.

A chiminea must be placed on a solid outdoor, fire-safe surface like brick, concrete, or stone patios. It should not be set on a wooden deck, since the sudden shift in temperature can break clay or terracotta chimineas and even damage metal ones. It is also recommended to keep the chiminea away from trees that could collapse or other structures such as sheds.

Never use a chiminea indoors, as the carbon monoxide fumes created by burning wood or charcoal are extremely dangerous. The fumes are not odorless or taste, which is why they are difficult to recognize. People who breathe them in may be unconscious for a short time and never awaken. These fumes are extremely explosive and can ignite your roof or any other building.

Maintenance

There are a few things you can do to help your chiminea last longer and look good. To ensure that your chiminea is made of clay and will last for a long period of time, it is essential to maintain it regularly and apply sealants that are protective. Also, adhere to the correct usage guidelines.

Chimineas should be positioned away from overhanging trees or branches that are low-hanging wires, and other structures that are flammable. It should be positioned on a base that is not flammable, such as stone or concrete.

The most important step to take when cleaning a chiminea is to clean the soot and ash that have accumulated prior to adding any more wood. This will ensure that the fire burns without danger, and will minimize any structural problems.

Another essential step in maintaining your indoor chiminea is to clean the grill and the inside of the chiminea after every use. While it might be tempting to simply wipe it clean with an ordinary cloth, using a specialized cleaning product is crucial. The best cleaning product is one that was made for outdoor use and is able to withstand temperatures of up to 105 degrees.

After the first few fires in a new chiminea you must allow it to "cure". This is when you gradually increase the heat for an hour, and then let it naturally go out. This allows the clay to adjust to the higher temperatures of regular burning and prevents cracking or breakage.

A grate should be used inside the chiminea in order to control the size of the fire as well as to stop ash from accumulating. Rock sand, pea gravel or chiminea rock are great alternatives for this purpose. Always use a fire that is smaller than what the chiminea can handle in order to avoid overheating and damaging the clay.

Finally, a chiminea must be covered when not in use to guard it from water damage. Rain or snow can cause rust on metal chimineas, and it is not uncommon for clay to break when exposed to water. A cover is available from a wide range of dealers and is an excellent investment for your Chiminea.
