Chimineas are available in a broad selection of materials, such as clay, cast iron, and terracotta for a Mexican-style appearance. They can be painted for decorative purposes and typically include hand-crafted elements. Clay and terracotta chimineas are less durable than metal and can crack or break when exposed to extreme temperatures and rough handling. However, they don't get hot as quickly as chimineas made of metal and may be better suited for homes with children or pets.

Because of their design Chimineas are more secure than fire pits because they are confined. Chimneys direct smoke upwards to reduce the amount of smoke that you or your neighbors breathe. Therefore, they are a great option for homeowners who live in areas that prohibit open flame fires or who wish to avoid the smell of smoke emitted by a more open flame.

Chimineas work best when used with wood, however they can also be used with propane liquid or gas. Some models can also be used to cook. When using a chiminea, you should always keep it away from overly windy conditions because strong gusts can blow embers and smoke into the air. It is recommended to build a chiminea in an area that is safe from fire, such as a patio hearth which is a three-by-four-foot square covered with pavers or other fireproof material.

You should only use firewood that has been dry-fired and stacked in a uniform manner when making the Chiminea. Avoid oversized logs and large branches as they are likely to split or break when handled. You should also keep at least 10 feet or more away from any structure such as your home or shed. You should also be careful not to raise your chiminea indoor over its chimney or a stack since this could cause it to break.

If you are concerned about the amount of smoke a chiminea can release, it is worth trying out a model that uses an stainless steel firebox to limit the amount of smoke released.

Chimineas can be utilized in all sorts of places, including in smaller backyards, and even on a balcony with careful placement. They usually spread their heat over a larger area than the fire pit, which is why it is important to create a patio hearth or other type of fire-safe area on which you can build the chiminea. It should be a small square, circular or circular area which is covered with pavers and is located at a minimum distance from other structures or other materials.

Chimineas made of clay can last for many years provided they are properly maintained and used. Place them on a concrete, stone or patio hearth. Cover the fire pad with a layer of sand or lava stones. This will stop cracking from the heat stress. Do not pour water on the chiminea of hot clay, because this can cause it to crack or break.

There are many models that are reasonably priced If you're looking for a chiminea that fits your budget. However, if you're looking for the classic, traditional style, you will have to spend more for a hand-crafted model that is constructed from top-quality clay.

Safety

If you choose clay models, they should be found its permanent home immediately since moving it frequently can damage the delicate clay and cause cracks. If you don't have the space to permanently locate your chiminea, a good quality chiminea cover is a great option to protect it from damage caused by rain and stop the accumulation of leaves and dirt that could block air flow and create a fire hazard.

Chimineas are very heavy. If you intend to make use of it as a garden ornament or put it in the outdoors, make sure that it is securely placed and that there is enough space around it to ensure its safe operation. Also, think about installing a brick or stone patio to keep the chiminea from getting damaged by wind.

Fill the chiminea with sand until it's about half full. This will keep the clay cool and stop the fire from touching any of the sides. Once the sand is dry you can ignite some newspaper and light a fire. Be sure to keep it from the sides. Once the fire has started to smolder, you can add a few logs or larger pieces of wood.

After you've made a few small flames in your chiminea, it's a good idea apply a sealer to the exterior of the clay. This will help protect the clay and prevent damage from moisture to the paint finish.

Sealer must be applied on a regular basis as the sealer will wear out with repeated use. You can buy an aqueous sealer from a hardware or garden store. You can also apply a high-temperature silicone sealant, such as Future Acrylic Floor Finish, that is perfect for ceramic chiminea and metal surfaces that are exposed to extreme temperatures.

It is best to burn only hardwood or split softwood wood logs that are seasoned when using your chiminea indoor. Be sure to ensure that the chiminea is positioned away from eaves or any type of roof that could catch fire. Never remove a chiminea from flames using water, as this can damage clay and terracotta.

Maintenance

Chimineas have a rustic look that draws people towards them, but they require special attention to ensure they stay in good shape. You can prolong the life of your terracotta big chiminea by taking certain preventative steps.

Make sure to use a chiminea on a surface that is fire-safe. Place it on a concrete patio, brick outdoor fire pit or solid wood deck. Make sure there is nothing that can catch on fire above it such as a wooden eave or pergola.

It is also important to keep the chiminea clean, particularly during the initial fires. This allows the clay to "season" and becomes more heat resistant. Start your first fire with a few pieces of wood, and be sure to allow them to burn completely. Then, you can build larger fires and add more kindling each time. It's best to avoid adding wood that has a lot of bark, which could cause a lot of hot sparks. Instead, try to choose mature wood, which tends to produce less sparking.

Fill the chiminea three quarters full of sand once it is ready to be used. Be sure to not touch any clay. Use a fire starter which does not contain lighter fluid or other products that enhance the flame. Once the sand has been covered, you can start an unintentional fire with only paper and a kindling. The fire should be growing in size each time. Be careful not to let it touch the clay or any other flammable materials.

Regular cleaning is crucial for the longevity of a clay chiminea. This decreases the likelihood of structural damage caused by accumulated soot or ash. Unburned ash can cause the risk of fire.

It is also recommended to apply a sealant of protection to the clay chiminea at least once or twice per year. This shields it from elements and stops moisture from seeping into the clay, which can make it softer.
