Chimineas made of clay can be constructed from kiln-fired or kiln-baked clay and coated with a waterproof coating to ensure durability. They are manufactured and fired in small local factories that support communities and the economy in Mexico. Kiln-fired to high temperatures, they are used to remove any organic or water content from the clay that is in its raw state. This decreases the chance of cracking the clay due to thermal shock.

It is best to start with a small chiminea fire when you first use your chiminea. Then gradually increase the size. It is important to start small as the clay acts as an electric radiator.

Maintenance

Chimineas are made from clay, which is prone to cracking. While this is typically not a major issue however, it can impact the appearance and functionality of the chiminea. To prevent this from happening, it's important to maintain your chiminea properly. Cleaning it frequently and sealing it with sealant is an integral part of this. Keep your chiminea in a safe place to prevent damage from moisture and cold temperatures.

One of the main reasons for cracks in a chiminea is poor handling. Chimineas are a huge piece of china, and must be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could burn it, or firing it when it's hot. One dealer told me he could not assure his chimineas against breakage, because they were often broken by careless handling before they were fired!

Using water to extinguish a fire is another common cause of cracks in chimineas. Clay is sensitive to sudden temperature changes and pouring hot water on a clay chiminea could cause stress cracks and thermal shock. The best way to safely put out the flame in a chiminea is to let it die naturally or employ sand.

When you purchase an newest Chiminea, you need to choose one that has an accompanying stand. It will be easier to clean and will make it more attractive in your backyard. Chimineas with no stands can be hard to move, especially when it's rainy or windy. You can also buy an instrument that helps you move the logs and a brush for getting rid of soot and ash.

When you first purchase your chiminea it must be "cured" (broken in) slowly. Start by lighting small fires, then increase the size of your logs gradually. During this process the clay will get more mature and less susceptible to cracks. A seasoned chiminea is also more effective at holding a larger, controlled fire. After three or four small flames, you'll be in a position to start a large fire with confidence. However, it is still important to monitor the size of your fire and not allow it to grow too large or get out of control.
