Large Clay
Chimineas For SaleClay chimineas need to be protected from weather. Chimineas made of clay can crack or become softer if left out in the rain and cold.
Chimineas that are frequently used should be filled to 50mm with Sand or Gardeco Lava Stones (see Accessories above). This will reduce the contact between the chiminea's direct flames. It also assists the clay material to be used to a staggered heat.
Size
Chimeneas can be the ideal size for many patios and gardens. The clay structure heats up and radiates warmth into the area, creating a warm fire and ambiance. They also serve as wood-burning stoves that efficiently consume the various hardwoods that give beautiful natural scents.
Smaller designs that taper into a chimney work well for smaller areas. Some are available with attractive colors that add an aesthetic element. They can be used to cook food over an open flame, a feature that adds an extra level of gratification and enjoyment to a backyard gathering.
Chimineas were made by hand and then painted by hand. They can discolor when used or placed outside. If this is a problem paint can be lightly sanded down and repainted using an exterior Emulsion-based paint, though this isn't typically required.
Some clay chimeneas come with a chrome BBQ grill so you can cook food on a open flame. You can cook on an open flame while enjoying the ambience.
Contrary to metal chimineas is much more safe to touch if they are hot, as the temperature is spread over a wider area. This will also prevent the clay from cracking due to too much heat. It is recommended to put 50mm of sand (or Gardeco lava stone) on the bottom to stop the clay from coming into contact with the hotter part and to create an even heat pattern.
Chimineas offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to gas barbecues. They can be used with a variety of fuels that include natural gas, propane, and charcoal. They are particularly effective when they are used with aromatic hardwoods such as Apple, Cherry and Yew that burn slowly, releasing a beautiful fragrance and producing less ash. Cover the chimenea when not in use. This will shield it from rain or snow.
Design
A clay chimenea can be an ideal addition to any patio. The clay is resistant to fire, and the design allows it to burn without smoke or a clean flame. They are designed with a wide base that tapers into a chimney and stack. The chimney captures the flame and carries it to the top to ensure it is warm enough for your outdoor space. A lot of chimineas come with decorative details that enhance their design, adding a beautiful finishing finish to your garden or patio. A chimenea is a great option for those with limited space who wants the warmth of an outdoor fire.
A chimenea can also be used to cook. Certain models have a built-in barbecue that can be used to cook food over the fire. The adobe or clay material absorbs heat and radiates it outward. It isn't necessary to build a huge fire to cook your food. They are also more easy than metal chimineas to maintain since they can be cleaned easily and are less likely to corrosion.

Chimineas made of clay can be made from kiln-fired clay that is coated with a waterproof coating to ensure durability. They are made and fired in small local factories that support communities and the economy of Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures they are used to eliminate any organic or water content from the clay that is in its raw state. This minimizes the possibility of cracking in the clay as a result of thermal shock.
Many of our larger models come with an area for cooking that allows you to grill food over the fire. This is a great choice for those who love cooking while entertaining at the same time. It will bring a sense of fun to your dinners.
When you are first starting to use your
steel chiminea, it is recommended to start with the fire in a small area and gradually increase the size of the fire. It is essential to start small since the clay acts like a radiator. If you begin with a larger size the temperature will quickly rise. This can crack the clay as it is not accustomed to the temperature.

Maintenance
Chimineas made of clay, are prone to cracking. This is a minor issue, but it could cause a negative impact on the appearance and functionality. It is essential to keep the chiminea in good condition to avoid this. This means cleaning it frequently and applying a sealant to protect it. Keep your chiminea in a safe place to avoid damage from moisture and cold temperatures.
One of the main reasons for cracks in a
chiminea near me is poor handling. Handle a chiminea with care because it is a substantial piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it or not letting it touch anything that could ignite or ignite it while it is hot. One dealer told me that he could not assure his chimineas against breaking, because they are often damaged by careless handling before they were fired up!
Another reason for cracks on chimineas can be caused by using water to extinguish the fire. Clay is prone to sudden temperature changes and pouring hot water over a clay chiminea can cause stress cracks and thermal shock. The best way to extinguish the
largest chiminea is to let the fire die naturally or to employ sand to extinguish it without risk.
If you are purchasing a new Chiminea, it is crucial to select one that has an appropriate stand. It will be easier to clean, and will look better in your garden. Chimineas that do not have stands can be difficult to move, particularly in the event of wet or windy. You should also buy a poker to assist you in move the logs and a brush to remove the ash and soot.
You should "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly as you first purchase it. Begin with small fires, and gradually increase the size of your logs. As time passes the clay will get more resistant to cracks and seasoned. A seasoned chiminea can provide a bigger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, it is possible to begin to make larger fires with confidence. But, it's vital to keep track of the size of your fire and to not allow it to get too big or out of control.
