Clay Chiminea Large

Chimineas made of clay are a beautiful way to enjoy outdoor fires. They are more fragile than iron chimineas, and need special care to ensure they last a long time.

Before you use your chiminea for the very first time, fill it with sand three to four inches below the mouth of the chiminea. This will protect the chiminea during the first few fires from contact with flames and allow it to dry out.

Material

Clay chimineas have been used for around four hundred years as a place to gather around for food and conversation and to keep warm in the home. They are generally constructed from terracotta, however they can also be made of other materials such as cast iron or steel.

Cast iron is more durable and less prone to damage caused by sudden temperature changes than Terracotta. However, it could crack or break easily if it is not shielded from rain and snow. Terracotta is more fragile but gives the chiminea a traditional Mexican look.

It is important to dry a new clay chiminea before you start using it for the first time. This will stop it from cracking from the sudden change in the temperature of the fire. This is accomplished by adding two to three inches (or more) 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 be used.

Clay chimineas are typically sealed to stop moisture from destroying them over time. This is a great idea for any outdoor fire pit, but it is especially important for clay chimineas since the clay absorbs water and when exposed to water too often, it can crack.

While a clay largest chiminea is less likely to crack than metal, it will still require some care to prevent water damage. Clay chimineas should be kept covered when not in use and they should not be kept inside because repeated exposure to moisture can cause the clay to crumble or crack.

Clay chimineas are heavier than other chimineas, and should be set on a base that is designed for outdoor fire pits. A hearth for a patio is an excellent choice for this purpose, as it creates a safe zone for fire on a deck or patio that is made of wood. The patio hearth can be built using bricks or pavers and should have at a minimum a 3-by-4-foot space. If you don't wish to build a patio hearth it is possible to place the chiminea fire pit in an area of level garden soil, but this isn't recommended since it may crack or break the chiminea over time.

Size

Chimineas are becoming increasingly popular. They create a relaxing atmosphere outdoors, but also produce a lot of heat. This makes them perfect for cooking or just enjoying the company of friends and family. They are available in a variety of styles and sizes, ranging from traditional clay models to modern cast iron and stainless steel models. They are among the most versatile garden objects available. They can be used in a variety of ways, including heating, cooking, illumination and for decoration.

Chimineas are quite fragile and are prone to cracking due to the fact that they are able to withstand changes in temperature and moisture so it is important to look after them properly. It is always recommended to purchase an enclosure for them, because it will shield them from damage caused by rain, which can cause them to become weaker and crack with time. It is also a good idea to put some Gardeco lava stone or 50mm of sand on the bottom of your chimenea. This will protect it from direct heating and stop the hottest part directly touching the clay which can cause it crack.

It is recommended to put a cap on the clay as this can help prevent water seepage that can cause cracks and weakening over the years. Clay-capped chimeneas may be a bit more expensive but they'll last longer. It is also an excellent idea to keep them away from fire-prone objects as this could cause an accident and also to avoid placing them in windy areas because this could cause smoke to move in directions that are not intended, which could make it difficult to use.

Finally, it is a good idea to seal your chimenea once or twice a year with Future floor wax or Butchers' Wax, it will protect the clay from the elements and make it a lot stronger and more resistant to warping and cracking.

Certain chimineas are equipped with extra features, like tables to prepare food. This allows you to turn your fire in a center of culinary activity.

Set up your chiminea on an unfinished concrete, brick, or stone patio once you have found the ideal location. It is important to not place it on a wood deck as sparks could erupt from the fireplace and ignite any flammable materials under it. It's not a good idea to place the chimney close to eaves or other overhead structures as they can catch fire.

To prepare your clay chiminea for use to use, fill the bowl of the chiminea with coarse sand up to 3 inches above the mouth of the chiminea. This will keep the hot portion of the flames away from the clay and prevent it from cracking.
