Clay Chiminea Large

Clay chimineas are a great way to enjoy a fire in the outdoor fire. They are more fragile than iron ones and require a special treatment to make sure they last for a long time.

Before you use your chiminea for the very first time, fill it with sand three to four inches below the mouth of the chiminea. This shields the chiminea from direct contact with flame for the first few fires and allows it to season.

Material

Chimineas made of clay have been used for over four hundred years as a place to gather around for food and conversation and also to warm the home. They are usually constructed from terracotta, however they can also be made of other materials, such as cast iron or steel.

Cast iron is more durable than terracotta chiminea, and it is less prone to damage caused by abrupt temperature changes. It can break and crack when it is not protected from rain or snow. terracotta chiminea can be more fragile but it is a beautiful material that gives the chiminea an authentic Mexican-inspired style.

It is essential to dry your new clay chiminea prior using it for the first time. This will stop it from cracking due the sudden temperature change of the fire. This is accomplished by putting two to three inches (or more) of river sand in the bottom of the chiminea. Start by using small pieces and then increase the size of wood gradually. After a few brief flames, the clay should be ready for use.

Clay chimineas are often sealed to prevent moisture from damaging them over time. This is ideal for any outdoor fire pit. But it is essential for chimineas made of clay, as the clay absorbs moisture and can be damaged if exposed too much.

Chimineas made of clay are less likely to crack compared to metal chimineas. However, they should be treated with care to avoid moisture damage. Clay chimineas must be covered when not used and should not be kept in a closed space. Moisture can cause clay to crack or break.

Clay chimineas are heavier than other chimineas and must be placed on a base designed for outdoor fire pits. This can be accomplished by installing a patio hearth on a wooden patio or deck. It provides a safe space from fire. The hearth for the patio should be at a minimum of 3 by 4 feet and can be made of bricks or pavers. If you do not want to build a patio hearth, you can place the chiminea in an area of level garden soil, however this isn't advised as it can crack or break the chiminea in time.

Size

Chimineas are becoming more and more popular, they not only create an ideal environment for outdoor relaxation but also provide a lot of heat which makes them ideal for cooking or just having fun with friends and family. They can be found in a wide variety of sizes and styles, from traditional clay models to contemporary cast iron and stainless steel models. They are among the most versatile garden items available. They can be used in a variety of ways, including for lighting, cooking, heating and decoration.

Chimineas are incredibly fragile and susceptible to cracking due the fact that they are able to endure changes in temperature and moisture so it is important to take care of them in a timely manner. It is always a good idea to get a cover for them, because it will shield them from rain damage which could cause them to become weaker and crack with time. It is also an excellent idea to place about 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see accessories above) in the bottom of the chimenea, which will shield it from direct heat and keep the hottest part of the fire from touching the clay which can cause cracks in the clay.

A clay cap is also an excellent idea since it can stop water seepage, which could result in them weakening over time and crack. The clay capped chimeneas are a bit more costly than the ones that aren't capped, but it is worth the investment because it will significantly prolong their lifespan. Keep them away from flammable items as this could lead to an accident. Also, never put them in areas that are windy because this could cause smoke to move in unexpected directions and make it difficult to use.
