Clay Chiminea Large

Clay chimineas are a great way to enjoy an outdoor fire. They are a bit more fragile than iron chimineas, and need special attention to ensure they last for a long time.

Before using your Chiminea for the first time, make sure you fill it with sand about 3-4 inches below the mouth of the chiminea. This shields the chiminea from direct contact with flames for the first few times and allows it to season.

Material

Clay chimineas have been used for over four hundred years as a place to gather around to talk and eat and also to warm the home. They are usually made of terracotta chiminea clay, although they are also available in a number of other materials, like cast iron and steel.

Cast iron is more durable than terracotta, and is less susceptible to being damaged by abrupt temperature fluctuations. It can crack and break when it is not protected from rain or snow. Terracotta can be more fragile but it is a gorgeous material that gives the chiminea an authentic Mexican-inspired style.

It is important to dry a new clay chiminea before using it for the first time. This will protect it from cracking from the sudden change in temperature of the fire. You can do this by placing about two to three inches of river sand into the bottom of the chiminea. Start with small pieces, and then increase the size of wood gradually. After several small fires, the clay is ready to start using.

Clay chimineas can be sealed to stop moisture from damaging the chimneys over time. This is a great option for any type of outdoor fire pit, but it is especially essential for clay chimineas as the clay absorbs water, and when exposed to water frequently enough, it could break.

Clay chimineas are less likely to crack than metal chimineas. However, they must be handled with care to avoid moisture damage. Chimineas made of clay must be protected when not being used and should never be kept in a closed space. Moisture can cause the clay to crack or crumble.

Since they weigh more than other kinds of chimineas, clay chimineas need to be placed in a solid base specifically designed to be used for outdoor fire pits. A patio hearth is an excellent choice for this purpose, since it creates a safe zone for fire on a deck or patio that is made of wood. The patio hearth can be constructed using pavers or bricks and should have at a minimum a 3-by-4-foot space. If you don't want to build a hearth for your patio, you can place the chiminea on a level patch of garden soil, but this isn't recommended as it can break or crack the chiminea in time.

Size

They are among the most versatile garden accessories and can be utilized for a variety of purposes including heating, cooking lighting, and even decoration.

Chimineas are incredibly fragile and are susceptible to cracking due the fact that they have to endure changes in temperature and humidity, therefore it is essential to look after them properly. It is always an excellent idea to purchase an enclosure for them, because it will shield them from rain damage that can cause them to weaken and crack over time. It is also a good idea to put some 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see accessories above) on the bottom of the chimenea, which will shield it from direct heat and help stop the hottest part of the fire from directly touching the clay, which could cause cracks in the clay.

A clay cap is also beneficial as it can prevent water seepage that could result in them weakening over time and crack. The chimeneas that are capped with clay are more expensive than non-capped ones but they are worth the investment because it will prolong their lifespan. It is also a good idea to keep them away from objects that are flammable because this could lead to an accident. It is also important to not place them in areas with high winds because this can cause smoke to move in unintended directions, which could make it difficult to use.

It is an excellent idea to seal your chimenea using Butchers wax or Future floor wax at least every two years. This will help protect the clay from damage and make the clay more resistant to cracking and warping.
