Clay Chiminea Large

Clay chimineas are a great option to have a relaxing outdoor fire. They are more fragile than iron ones and require special care to ensure they last for a long time.

Before using your Chiminea for the first time, fill it with sand three to four inches below the mouth of the chiminea. This will protect the chiminea from the first few fires from flame contact and let it get a season.

Material

Chimineas from clay have been in use for around four hundred years as a place to gather for conversation and food, and to warm the home. They are generally constructed from terracotta clay however, they can also be found in a number of other materials, like cast iron and steel.

Cast iron is more durable and less prone to damage caused by sudden temperature fluctuations than Terracotta. However, it is susceptible to cracks or break easily if it is not shielded from rain or snow. Terracotta is more delicate, but gives the chiminea an authentic Mexican appearance.

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

Chimineas made of clay can be sealed to stop moisture from destroying chimneys over time. This is a great option for any type of outdoor fire pit, but it is especially important for clay chimineas as the clay absorbs water and when exposed to it too often, it can crack.

Clay chimineas are less likely to crack compared to metal chimineas, however they should be treated with care to prevent damage from moisture. Chimineas made of clay should be covered when not in use, and they should never be stored inside because repeated exposure to moisture can cause the clay to break or crack.

Clay chimineas are heavier than other chimineas and should be placed on a base that is designed for outdoor fire pits. A patio hearth is a great option to accomplish this, since it provides a fire pits chimineas-proof zone on the deck or patio made of wood. The hearth on the patio should be at least 3 by 4 feet in size and can be made of bricks or pavers. If you don't want to build a hearth to your patio, you can simply place the chiminea in a flat area of garden soil. This is not recommended, as it may break or crack in the course of time.

Size

Chimineas are now becoming more popular. They create a tranquil atmosphere outdoors, but also produce a lot of heat.
