Chimineas made of clay have a larger surface area than chimineas made of metal. This makes them more safe to touch when hot.

Careless handling is one of the most frequent causes of cracks in a chiminea for sale. Chimineas are like an enormous piece of fine china, and must be handled with care.

Another common cause of cracks on chimineas can be caused by using water to put out the fire. Clay is susceptible to sudden temperature fluctuations and pouring hot water over a clay chiminea could cause thermal shock and stress cracks.

But, it's important to monitor the size of your fire and to not allow it to become too large or get out of control.
