Clay Chiminea Large

Clay chimineas are a great way to enjoy a fire in the outdoor chiminea fireplace fire. They are a little more fragile than iron chimineas and require special attention to ensure they last a long time.

Before using your chiminea for the first time fill it with sand 3-4 inches below the chiminea's mouth. This will shield the chiminea during the first few times from contact with flames and allow it to dry out.

Material

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

Cast iron is more durable than terracotta, and it is less prone to damage from abrupt temperature fluctuations. However, it could crack or break easily if not shielded from rain or snow. Terracotta can be more fragile but it is a gorgeous material that gives the chiminea a classic Mexican look.

It is important to let your clay cure chiminea prior using it for the first time. This will prevent it from cracking due to the sudden temperature change of the fire. This is done by adding two to three inches (or more) of river sand to the bottom of the chiminea. After that, start with small pieces of wood and gradually increase the size of the wood you use. After a few minutes of small flames, the clay should be ready for use.

Clay chimineas can also be sealed to prevent moisture from damaging the chimneys over time. This is an excellent idea for any fire pit outdoors. However, it is crucial for chimineas made from clay, since the clay absorbs moisture, and could crack if exposed to it too long.

While a chiminea made from clay is less likely to crack than metal, it will require some attention to avoid the damage caused by moisture. Clay chimineas should be kept covered when not in use and they should not be kept inside because repeated exposure to moisture could cause the clay to crumble or crack.

Due to their weight, which is higher than other kinds of chimineas made from clay, they need to be placed in an extremely solid base made to be used for outdoor fire pits. This can be accomplished by putting a hearth for a patio on the deck or patio of a wooden structure. It provides a secure zone from fire. The hearth in the patio can be built with bricks or pavers and should have at a minimum a 3-by-4-foot space.

It is also recommended to put some 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see the accessories above) in the bottom of the chimenea, which will shield it from direct heat and help keep the hottest part of the fire from touching the clay which can cause it to crack.

It is also a good idea to use a clay cap to stop water seepage, which could cause them to weaken and crack over time. Clay-capped chimeneas may be a bit more expensive however they will last longer.
