Clay chimineas can last for years with proper care and use. They are best placed on a stone or concrete fire pad or in a hearth in a patio, and then on top of a layer of sand or lava stones to prevent them from cracking due to heat stress.

Chimineas are hefty. If you intend to use it as a garden ornament or put it in a large outdoor space, make sure that it is secured and that there is enough clearance around it to ensure safe operation. Also, think about a brick or stone patio to keep the chiminea from being damaged by winds.

Fill your chiminea up with sand until it's about half full. This will keep the clay cool and stop the fire from touching any of the sides. When the sand is dry, you can light a small fire of newspaper and some kindling, but make sure it is kept well away from the sides of the stack. Once the fire has started to smolder, you can add a few logs or larger pieces of wood.

Once you have made some small fires in your new chiminea, it's a good idea to apply a sealer on the exterior of the clay. This will protect the clay and stop moisture damage to the paint finish.

The sealer should be reapplied regularly, since the initial sealer wears off during regular use. You can buy a clay sealer that is suitable from a garden or hardware store, or alternatively you can apply a high-temperature silicone sealant such as Future acrylic floor finish which is ideal for use on ceramic and metal objects that are exposed extreme temperatures.

When using your chiminea outdoor, it is best to only burn wood or split softwood logs that have been seasoned. Also, always make sure the chiminea is not situated from eaves or any type of roof that may catch fire. Also, never extinguish a chiminea with water, as this can damage clay and terracotta.

Maintenance

Chimineas are a favorite due to their rustic beauty, but they require special attention to maintain them. A few preventative measures will ensure that your terra-cotta chiminea lasts for many years.

It is also recommended to keep the chiminea in good order, particularly during the initial fires. This allows the clay to "season" and become more resistant to heat. Start the first few fires with just a couple pieces of wood, and be sure to let them burn out completely. You can build up larger fires by adding more kindling. It's best to avoid adding wood that has a lot of bark, which could produce a large number of sparks that are hot. Choose seasoned wood instead, as it tends to be less sparky.

Fill the chiminea to three quarters full of sand once it is ready for use. Make sure that it does not touch any clay. Make sure to use a fire starter that does not contain lighter fluid or any other products to enhance the flame. After the sand is covered, begin a small fire using only paper and a kindling. The fire should get slightly larger each time. Be careful not to let it touch the clay or any other flammable materials.

A chiminea made of clay will last longer if it's regularly cleaned. This decreases the likelihood of structural damage caused by accumulation of soot or ash. It also helps to prevent a fire hazard caused by unburnt ash that can suddenly spark.

It is also recommended to apply a protective seal to the clay chiminea every once or twice per year. This protects it from the elements and prevents moisture from getting into the clay, which could cause it to become softer.
