Clay chimineas should be protected from the elements. If exposed to rain and cold a clay chiminea can get softer or crack.
Chimineas that are frequently used should be filled 50mm with sand or Gardeco Lava Stones (see Accessories above). This helps reduce contact between the chiminea and direct flames. It also helps the clay material be used to staggered heat.
Size
A chimenea is a great size for most gardens and patios. The clay structure warms up and radiates warmth into the area, providing a cozy fire and ambiance. They also serve as wood-burning stoves that efficiently consume the various hardwoods that produce gorgeous natural aromas.
Smaller designs that taper to the shape of a chimney are perfect for smaller spaces. Some come in attractive colors to add a decorative element. They can be used to prepare food on an open flame and add a new level of enjoyment to backyard parties.
Chimineas have been hand-crafted and painted by hand. They can discolor if used or left outside. If this is an issue the paint can be sanded, and then repainted using an exterior emulsion-based paint. This isn't always necessary.
Certain clay chimeneas have chrome BBQ which allows you to cook over an open flame. Cooking can be done over an open flame while enjoying the ambience.
Chimineas made of clay have a larger surface area than chimineas made of metal. This makes them safer to touch even when they are hot. This helps keep the clay's interior from absorption of 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 in contact with the hottest part and to create an even heat pattern.
Chimineas are a green alternative to gas barbecues. They can be used with various fuels that include natural gas, propane, and charcoal. Chimineas are especially effective when used with aromatic woods like Apple, Cherry, and Yew that burn slow and produce less ash. Cover the chimenea when it is not in use. This will shield it from snow or rain.
Design
A clay chimenea can be a great addition to any patio. The clay is resistant to fire, and the design allows it to burn with a clear, smoke-free flame. The base is wide and is shaped to form a chimney. The chimney keeps the flame up high and allows it to warm the outdoor area. A number of chimineas come with decorative details that accents their design and provides a stunning finishing look to your garden or patio. A chimenea is an excellent option for those with limited space and who would like the warmth of an outdoor fire.
A chimenea can also be used to cook. Certain models come with a built-in grill that can be used for barbecuing food over the flame.

They are also simpler to maintain than metal chimineas because they can be cleaned more easily, and they are not as susceptible to rust.

Function
Chimeneas are a safe method to enjoy the fire outdoors and also add ambiance and light to your outdoor space. Since ancient times, they have been used to provide warmth and light. Now you can use them as a focal point for your garden or patio. They are easy to operate and a good alternative for those looking to enjoy the benefits of an outdoor fire without the dangers of an open flame.
Chimineas made of clay can be constructed from kiln-fired or kiln-baked clay and coated with a waterproof coating to ensure their durability. They are manufactured and fired in small local factories that assist in the economic development and communities of Mexico. Kiln-fired to high temperatures, they are used to eliminate any organic or water content in the clay that is in its raw state. This decreases the risk of cracking the clay because of thermal shock.
A large portion of our chimineas are designed with an area for cooking that allows you to grill food over the fire. This is a great feature for those who like to cook and entertain simultaneously and will add a bit of fun and flavour to the meals you have with friends and family.
When you are first starting to use your chiminea, it is best to start with the fire in a small area and gradually increase the size of the fire. This is important because the clay acts as a radiator. Moreover, should you start with a large flame, the temperature will rise too fast. The clay may crack if it's not able to absorb the heat.
Wrapped With Iron is one of the many designs available in our large clay range. It has the traditional clay look of a Mexican pottery with an iron accent on the lid and stack. This model also comes with a detachable chimney cover and stand.
We also have the Honeycomb design clay chiminea which offers a more modern looking fire pit with a cross pattern on the bowl and stack. The model is lighter in color with softer tones and includes a chimney cover that can be removed and a stand.
Maintenance
Chimineas, which are made from clay, are prone to cracking. Although this is typically an issue of minor importance however, it can impact the appearance and performance of the chiminea. It is essential to maintain the chiminea correctly to avoid this. This includes cleaning it regularly and applying a sealant that is protective. It is also important to properly store your blue rooster chiminea to avoid damage due to the cold and humidity.
One of the primary reasons for cracks in a chiminea is poor handling. chimineas clay are like a large piece of fine china, and must be handled with care. Avoid dropping it, letting it touch anything that can burn or fire it when it is hot. One dealer told me he did not guarantee his chimineas against breakage, because they were often broken due to careless handling, even after they were fired up!
Another common cause of cracks on chimineas can be caused by using water to smother the fire. Clay is susceptible to sudden temperature changes and pouring hot water on a clay chiminea outdoor fireplace can cause stress cracks and thermal shock. The best way to safely put out the flame in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally, or employ sand.
It is important to buy the chiminea with an base. It will be easier to clean, and it will look better in your garden. Chimineas without stands are difficult to move, particularly in the event of wet or windy. You should also buy an instrument to help manipulate the logs and a brush to get rid of the ash and soot.
When you first purchase your chiminea, it must be "cured" (broken in) slowly. Start with small fires and increase the size of the logs gradually. In this process the clay will become more seasoned and resistant to cracks. A seasoned chiminea can hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small flames, you'll be in a position to start a large fire with confidence. But, it's vital to keep track of the size of your fire and to not allow it to get too large or out of control.
