They are fired kiln-fired at high temperatures in order to eliminate any organic material or water in the clay. This reduces the chances of the clay cracking due to thermal shock.

Maintenance

Chimineas, made of clay, are prone to cracking. This is not a major problem, but it could cause a negative impact on the appearance and function of. To avoid this from happening, it's important to take care of your chiminea. Cleaning it frequently and sealing it with sealant is an integral part of this. It is important to store your chiminea properly to prevent damage from the elements and cold temperatures.

One of the main reasons for cracks in a chiminea is poor handling. Chimineas are like a large piece of fine china, and must be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it or not letting it touch anything that could ignite or fire it when it is hot. One dealer told me that he could not assure his chimineas from breaking because they were often broken by careless handling after they were fired up!

Another reason for cracks on chimineas is using water to put out the fire. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations and the act of pouring water over the chiminea fire pit results in thermal shock and stress fractures. The best method to put out the flame in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally, or employ sand.

It is essential to purchase an chiminea with an base. It will be simpler to clean and make it more attractive in your backyard. Chimineas that do not have stands can be difficult to move, especially in the event of windy or rainy. You should also purchase a poker to assist you in move the logs, and a brush to get rid of soot and ash.

You should "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly as you first buy it. Start by lighting small fires, then increase the size of logs gradually. In this period, the clay will become more resistant to cracks and will become more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is also able to provide a bigger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, it is possible to begin making larger-sized fires with confidence. But, it's important to monitor the size of your fire and to not allow it to become too big or out of control.
