After a few small fires, the clay should be ready to use.

Clay chimineas are often sealed to help prevent moisture from destroying them over time. This is a great idea for any type of outdoor fire pit, but it's especially essential for clay chimineas as the clay absorbs water, and if it's exposed to it often enough, it may crack.
