Ceramic chimineas are much more safe to touch if they are hot, as the temperature is spread out over a wider surface.

Kiln-fired to high temperatures, they are used to remove any organic or water content in the raw clay. This minimizes the possibility of cracking in the clay as a result of thermal shock.
Many of our larger Chimineas come with an area for cooking that allows you to grill food over the fire. This is a great option for those who want to cook while entertaining at the same time. It will bring a sense of fun to your meals.

Maintenance
Chimineas are made from clay, which is susceptible to cracking. This is not a major issue, but it could cause a negative impact on the appearance and functionality. To avoid this from happening, it is essential to maintain your chiminea properly. This means cleaning it frequently and using a protective sealant. It is important to store your chiminea properly to avoid damage caused by moisture and cold temperatures.
One of the main causes for cracks in a chiminea is careless handling. Chimineas are a large piece of fine china, and it should be handled with care. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could cause it to burn, or firing it when it's hot.

Another common cause of cracks on chimineas is using water to put out the fire. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature changes and pouring water on the chiminea results in stress fractures and thermal shock. The most effective way to extinguish the fire in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally, or use sand.
It is important to buy the chiminea with a base. It will be simpler to clean and it will look nicer in your garden.

After three or four small flames, you will be capable of starting a large fire with confidence. It is crucial to keep an an eye on the size of the fire to ensure that it doesn't get out of control.
