metal chimineas is much safer to touch when hot, as the temperature is spread out across a larger surface. This helps to prevent the clay inside from absorption of too much heat and breaking.

Clay chimineas are constructed from kiln fired clay with a waterproof glaze to ensure long-lasting durability. They are made and fired in small, local factories to support the economy and communities of Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures they are used to eliminate any organic or water-based content in the raw clay. This minimizes the risk of cracking the clay due to thermal shock.
A lot of our larger models include a cooking area where you can cook food on the fire. This is a fantastic option for those who want to cook and entertain simultaneously and will add a bit of fun and flavour to dinners with your family and friends.
When you are first starting to use your chiminea it is always best to build an initial small fire before you slowly increase the size of the fire. It is essential to start small since the clay acts as a radiator. If you begin with a larger size, the temperature will increase quickly. This could cause cracks in the clay since it isn't accustomed to the temperature.

Maintenance
Chimineas are made of clay, which is susceptible to cracking. Although this is typically a minor problem but it can affect the appearance and performance of the chiminea. It is essential to keep the chiminea in good condition in order to prevent this. Cleaning it frequently and sealing it with sealant is a 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 careless handling. Handle a chiminea with care since it is a huge piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it or letting it touch anything that is likely to ignite, or firing it while it is hot. One dealer told me he did not warrant his chimineas against breaking, because they were often broken by careless handling before they were fired!
Using water to extinguish fires is another frequent cause of cracks in Chimineas. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature changes and the act of pouring water over the
chiminea for sale near me results in thermal shock and stress fractures. The best method to end the fire in a chiminea is to let it die naturally or make use of sand.
It is essential to purchase the chiminea with an base. It will be easier to clean and it will look nicer in your garden. Chimineas without stands are difficult to move, especially in the event of wet or windy. You can also buy a poker that will help you move the logs, and a brush to remove soot and ash.
You must "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly when you first buy it. Start with small fires, and gradually increase the size of your logs. In this process, the clay will become seasoned and more resistant to cracks. A seasoned chiminea is also more efficient at holding a larger, well-controlled fire.
