Some clay chimeneas come with chrome BBQ so you can cook your food over an open flame. This allows you to take in the ambience of a flame while cooking your meal and adds an additional flavor that's not feasible with electric or gas cookers.
Unlike metal chimineas, clay Chimineas are safer to touch when they are hot, as the temperature is spread out across a larger surface. This helps keep the clay's interior from absorption of too much heat and fracturing. It is recommended to put 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see Accessories below) on the bottom of the chimenea in order to minimize the contact of the clay with the hot part of the fire, and to create a staggered heat pattern.

A chimenea must be covered when not in use to shield it from snow and rain because it could be hard to start a fire in the event that the clay gets wet.
Design
A clay chimenea is an ideal addition to any patio. The clay is resistant to fire and the design permits an uncluttered, non-smoking fire. The base is broad and is shaped to form the shape of a chimney. The chimney holds the flame at a high level and allows it to warm your outdoor area. Many chimineas have decorative features that add to their appearance and add a stunning finishing finish to your patio or garden. A chimenea is a great option for those with limited space but who desires the warmth of a fire in the outdoor.

Function
A chimenea is a great option to enjoy a fire outdoors in a safe manner. It will also add the appearance of light and ambience to your outdoor area. Since centuries they have been used to provide warmth and light. They are now able to serve as them as a focal point in your patio or garden. They are easy to use and a good choice for people who want the advantages of an outdoor fire without the dangers associated with an open flame.
Clay chimineas can be made of kiln-fired clay and coated with a waterproof coating to ensure long-lasting. They are crafted and fired in small, local factories to aid in the development of the communities and economy of 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 risk of cracking the clay because of thermal shock.
Many of our larger models have an area for cooking where you can cook food over the flame. This is an excellent feature for those who like to cook and entertain simultaneously. It can add a touch of fun and flavor to your dinners with your family and friends.
It is recommended to begin with a small fire at first when you are using your chiminea, and then gradually increase the size. This is crucial because the clay acts as a radiator and if you start with a large fire, the temperature will rise too fast. The clay could crack because it's not able to absorb the heat.
There are a variety of different designs available in our huge clay chiminea range including the Wrapped With Iron. This design is a classic clay look and feel of Mexican pottery, and an accent of iron on the lid and stack. This design includes a stand that can be removed and chimney cover.

Maintenance
Chimineas are made from clay, which is susceptible to cracking. While Fireplaces & Stoves is typically not a major issue, it can affect the appearance and functionality of the chiminea. It is crucial to maintain the chiminea correctly to avoid this. Cleaning it regularly and sealing it with sealant is a part of this. It is also important to properly store your chiminea to avoid damage due to extreme temperatures and moisture.
One of the primary reasons for cracks in a chiminea is poor handling. Chimineas are a huge piece of china, and it should be handled with care. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could cause it to be burned or firing it while it's hot. One dealer I spoke to said he did not guarantee his chimineas against breaking, since they were frequently broken by careless handling after they were fired up!
The use of water to put out fires is another frequent reason for 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 extinguish the chiminea is to let the fire die naturally or to make use of sand to put it out in a safe manner.
When you are buying an all-new Chiminea, you need to choose one that has an accompanying stand. It will be easier to clean and it will look better in your garden. Chimineas that do not have stands can be difficult to move, particularly if the weather is wet or windy. You should also purchase a poker to help you move the logs, and a brush to get rid of the ash and soot.
You should "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly after you first buy it. Begin with small fires, and gradually increase the size of your logs. In this period the clay will become more resistant to cracks and more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea can hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small flames, you will be capable of starting a large fire with confidence. But, it's essential to be aware of the size of your fire, and not allow it to grow too large or get out of control.
