Clay Chiminea Large

Clay chimineas are a lovely alternative to enjoying outdoor fires. They are a little more fragile than iron chimineas and require special attention to ensure they last for a long period of 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 shield the chiminea during the first few fires from flame contact and let it get a season.

Material

Chimineas made of clay have been used for around four hundred years as a place to gather for food and conversation and to keep warm in the home. They are generally made of terracotta clay, however, they can also be found in a variety of other materials, including cast iron and steel.

Cast iron is more durable and less prone to damage caused by sudden temperature fluctuations than terracotta. It can crack and break when not shielded from rain or snow. Terracotta is a bit more fragile however, it is a beautiful and durable material that gives the chiminea an authentic Mexican-inspired look.

It is essential to let your clay cure Chiminea before using it for the very first time. This will prevent it from cracking due to the sudden shift in temperature of the fire. You can do this by placing approximately two to three inches of river sand at the bottom of the chiminea. Then, begin with small pieces of kindling and gradually increase the size of the wood you choose to use. After a few brief flames, your clay will be ready for use.

Clay chimineas are often sealed to help prevent water from causing damage over time. This is a great idea for any outdoor fire pit, but it is especially essential for clay chimineas as the clay absorbs water and when exposed to it often enough, it may break.

Although a chiminea made of clay is less likely to crack than metal chiminea, it does require some care to avoid the damage caused by moisture. Chimineas made of clay must be protected when not being used and should not be kept inside. Moisture can cause clay to break or crumble.

Clay chimineas are more heavy than other types of chimineas and must be placed on a base that is designed for outdoor fire pits. A hearth for a patio is a great option to accomplish this, since it creates a fire-safe zone on the deck or patio made of wood. The patio hearth can be built with pavers or bricks and should be at a minimum a 3-by-4-foot space. If you do not wish to build a hearth for your patio, you could simply place the chiminea on a flat patch of garden soil. This is not recommended as it may break or crack in the course of time.

Size

It is also a good idea to place some Gardeco lava stone or 50mm of sand at bottom of your chimenea. This will shield it from direct heating and prevent the hot part from directly touching the clay, which can cause it to crack.

It is also a good idea to use a clay cap because it can prevent water seepage that could cause them to crack and weaken over the years. Chimeneas with caps made of clay are more expensive than the ones that aren't capped, but it's a worthwhile investment because it will extend their life span. It is also a good idea to keep them away from fire-prone objects because this could lead to an accident. Also, not place them in windy areas because this could cause smoke to flow in directions that are not intended, which could make it difficult to use.
