Terracotta can be more fragile however, it is a gorgeous material that gives the chiminea a classic Mexican look.

It is crucial to cure a new clay chiminea before using it for the first time. This will stop it from cracking due the sudden temperature change of the fire. This is done by placing around two to three inches of river sand in the bottom of the chiminea. Start by using small pieces and then increase the size of the wood gradually. After some small fires the clay is ready to use.

Clay chimineas are often sealed to prevent moisture from destroying them over time. This is an excellent idea for any outdoor fire pit. But it is essential for chimineas made from clay, since the clay absorbs moisture, and could crack if exposed excessively.

Clay chimineas are less likely to crack compared to metal chimineas. However, they should be handled with care to prevent moisture damage. Clay chimineas must be protected when not being utilized and should not be kept in a closed space. Moisture can cause clay to crack or crumble.

If you don't wish to build a hearth for your patio, you can place the chiminea in an even patch of garden soil, however this isn't advised since it may cause cracks or breakage to the chiminea with time.
