Function

Chimeneas are a safe method to enjoy an outdoor fire and can also add ambiance and light to your outdoor space. Since ancient times they have been used to provide warmth and light. They are now able to serve as them as a focal point in your garden or patio. They are easy to use and are a great option for those who want the benefits of an outdoor fire without the dangers of an open flame.

Clay chimineas can be constructed from kiln-fired or kiln-baked clay and coated with a waterproof coating to ensure long-lasting. They are made and fired in small local factories that help support communities and the economy in Mexico. They are kiln fired at high temperatures to remove any organic or water-based material in the raw clay. This decreases the risk of the clay cracking because of thermal shock.

A large portion of our chimineas are designed with a cooking area that allows you to grill food on the flame. This is a fantastic option for those who want to cook while entertaining simultaneously. It will add a fun element to your dinners.

When you first begin to use your chiminea it is always best to build a small fire and slowly increase the size of the fire. It is important to start small as the clay acts as a radiator. If you begin with a larger size, the temperature will increase quickly. The clay could crack because it's not able to absorb the heat.

Wrapped With Iron is one of the many designs in our extensive range of clay. This design is based on the classic clay look of Mexican pottery with an iron accent on the stack and lid. This model comes with a removable stand and chimney cover.

We also have the Honeycomb design clay chiminea that gives a modern-looking fire pit with a cross design on the bowl and stack. This model is lighter in colour and softer tones. It also includes a stand that can be removed and a chimney cover.

Maintenance

Chimineas are constructed from clay, which is prone to cracking. Although this is usually a minor problem, it can affect the appearance and function of the chiminea. To prevent this from happening, it is essential to maintain your chiminea properly. This means cleaning it frequently and applying a sealant that is protective. It is also important to properly store your chiminea to avoid damage due to cold temperatures and moisture.

One of the main causes for cracks in a chiminea is poor handling. Handle a chiminea indoor with care since it is a large piece fine china. Avoid dropping it, touching anything that can burn it or firing it when it's hot. A dealer once told me that he couldn't even warrant his chimineas against breaking because they were most likely to break due to careless handling before they were fired once!

Using water to extinguish the flame is another common cause of cracks in chimineas. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature changes and the act of pouring water over the chiminea can cause thermal shock and stress fractures. The best method to extinguish the fire in a chiminea is to let it die naturally or use sand.

If you are purchasing an all-new Chiminea, you need to select one that has an appropriate stand. It will be easier to clean and will look better in your garden. Chimineas that do not have stands can be hard to move, particularly if it's rainy or windy. You should also purchase an instrument to help manipulate the logs and a brush to remove the ash and soot.

When you first purchase your chiminea it needs to be "cured" (broken in) slowly. Start by lighting small fires, then increase the size of logs gradually. In this period the clay will become more resistant to cracks and seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is more effective at holding a larger, more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, it is possible to begin to make larger fires with confidence. However, it is important to monitor the size of your fire and to not allow it to get too big or out of control.
