Large Clay Chimineas For SaleChimineas made of clay should be protected from the elements. Clay chimineas may break or soften if left out in the cold and rain.
Chimineas that will be frequently used should be filled 50mm with sand or Gardeco Lava Stones (see Accessories above). This will reduce contact between the Chiminea and direct flames. It also helps the material get used to the uneven heat.
Size
A chimenea is the perfect size for most gardens and patios. The clay structure emits warmth and creates a warm atmosphere. They can also be used as wood stoves. They use aromatic hardwoods to produce gorgeous natural scents.
Smaller designs that taper into a chimney work well for smaller spaces. They are available in several attractive colors that add a decorative appearance. They can be used to cook food over an open flame, an option that adds a new satisfaction and pleasure to an outdoor gathering.
Chimineas are hand-crafted and painted and therefore may fade slightly with use or if placed outside all the time. If this is an issue, the paint can easily be sanded and painted again with an exterior emulsion-based paint. This isn't usually necessary.
Some clay chimeneas come with chrome BBQ which allows you to cook over an open flame. Cooking can be done over an open flame while enjoying the ambiance.
Contrary to metal chimineas is much safer to touch when hot, as the temperature is spread out over a wider surface. This helps to prevent the clay's interior from taking in too much heat and fracturing. 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 most hot part and to create a uniform heat pattern.
Chimineas offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to gas barbecues. Chimineas can be used with different fuels, including natural gas, propane and charcoal. Chimineas work best when used with aromatic woods such as Apple, Cherry, and Yew that burn slower and produce less ash. A chimenea must be covered when not in use to protect it from snow and rain because it could be difficult to get a fire going when the clay is wet.
Design
A clay chimenea is a great addition to any patio. The clay is resistant to fire, and the design helps it to burn with a clear, smoke-free flame. The base is large and is shaped to form the shape of a chimney. The chimney is able to catch the flame and carries it to the top to allow it to warm your outdoor space. Many chimineas feature decorative details that add to their appearance adding a stunning final design to your patio or garden. A chimenea can be the ideal option for those with a limited space and who want the warmth of a fire outdoors.
A chimenea can also be used for cooking. Some models come with a built-in barbecue that can be used to cook food on the flame. The adobe or clay material absorbs heat and radiates outward. You don't need to build a big fire to heat your food. They are also simpler to maintain than chimineas made from metal because they are easier to clean, and they are not as susceptible to corrosion.

Clay chimineas are made from fired clay that has been kiln-fired and coated with an impervious glaze to ensure long-lasting durability. They are made and fired in small local factories that aid communities and the economy of Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures they are used to remove any organic or water content in the clay that is in its raw state. This decreases the risk of cracking in the clay as a result of thermal shock.
A lot of our larger chimineas are designed 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 add a fun element to your meals.
It is best to start with a small fire when you first use your chiminea and then gradually increase the size. It is important to start small because the clay acts like an electric radiator. If you begin with a larger size the temperature will rise quickly. This could cause cracks in the clay as it isn't accustomed to the temperature.

Maintenance
Chimineas are constructed from clay, which is susceptible to cracking. This is a minor problem, but it could affect the appearance and function of. It is important to maintain the chiminea correctly to avoid this. This means cleaning it frequently and applying a sealant to protect it. Keep your chiminea in a safe place to prevent damage from the elements and cold temperatures.
Handling with care is among the most frequent causes of cracks in a Chiminea. A chiminea is like a large piece of fine china, and it should be handled with care. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could burn it or firing it while it's hot. A dealer once told me that he didn't even guarantee his chimineas for breakage because most of them were broken because of careless handling prior to the time they had been fired up once!
Another common cause of cracks in chimineas is the use of water to smother the fire. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature changes, and pouring water on the chiminea results in stress fractures and thermal shock. The best way to extinguish the chiminea is to let the fire die naturally or to use sand to extinguish it safely.
When you purchase an all-new Chiminea, it is crucial to pick one that comes with a stand. It will be simpler to clean and will look better in your garden. Chimineas that do not have stands can be difficult to move, particularly if it is windy or rainy. You can also purchase an instrument that helps you move the logs, and a brush for getting rid of soot and ash.
You must "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly when you purchase it for the first time. Begin with small fires, and gradually increase the size of your logs. As time passes, the clay will become more resistant to cracks and will become more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is also able to be able to hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small flames, you'll be able to start a full-size fire with confidence. But, it's important to monitor the size of your fire and to not allow it to grow too big or out of control.
