Large Clay Chimineas For SaleChimineas made of clay should be protected from the elements. Chimineas made of clay can be damaged or brittle when left in the rain and cold.
Chimineas that are frequently used should be filled 50mm with sand or Gardeco Lava Stones (see Accessories above). This will reduce the contact between chimineas's direct flames. It also allows the material to get used to the staggered heat.
Size
Chimeneas can be the perfect size for many gardens and patios. The clay structure warms up and radiates warmth to the surrounding area, generating a cozy fire and ambiance. They can also be used as wood stoves. They burn aromatic hardwoods to produce beautiful natural aromas.
The smaller designs that taper into the shape of a chimney are perfect for smaller spaces. There are various appealing colors that add an attractive appearance. They are a great way to cook food over an open fire and add a new level of enjoyment to backyard parties.
Chimineas are made by hand and painted, so they may discolor slightly with use or if kept outside for long periods of time. If this is the case, the paint can easily be sanded, and then repainted using an exterior emulsion-based paint. This isn't always required.
Certain clay chimeneas have a chrome BBQ so you can cook your food over an open flame. This lets you enjoy the ambiance of a flame while cooking your meal and it adds a layer of flavour that isn't feasible with electric or gas cookers.
Unlike metal chimineas, clay chimineas are much safer to touch when they are hot because the temperature is spread over a wider surface. This helps to prevent the inner clay from taking in too much heat and breaking. It is recommended to place 50mm of sand (or Gardeco lava stone) at the bottom to prevent the clay from coming in contact with the hotter part and to create an even heat pattern.
Chimineas offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to gas barbecues. Chimineas can be used with various fuels that include propane, natural gases and charcoal. Chimineas are particularly effective when made with aromatic woods like Apple, Cherry, and Yew that burn slower and produce less ash. A chimenea should be covered when it is not in use to shield it from rain and snow, as it can become difficult to start a fire when the clay is wet.
Design
A clay chimenea can be a great addition to any patio. The clay material is resistant to fire and the design allows it to burn with a clear, smoke-free flame. They're constructed with a broad base that tapers to a chimney and stack. The chimney is able to catch the flame and carries it to the top so that it can warm your outdoor space. A lot of chimineas feature decorative details which enhances their design and adds a stunning finish to your patio or garden. Chimeneas can be the ideal option for those who have a small space, and who would like the warmth of a fire outdoors.
A chimenea can also be used to cook. Some models have an integrated grill that can be used for barbecuing food over the fire. The adobe material or clay material absorbs heat and radiates it outward. You don't need to build a huge fire to cook your food. They are also easier to maintain than
metal chimineas because they can be cleaned more easily and aren't as prone to corrosion.

Function
A chimenea is a great option to enjoy a
fire pits and chimineas in the outdoors in a secure manner. It also adds illumination and ambiance to your outdoor space. Since centuries they have been used to provide warmth and light. Today, you can use them as a focal point in your garden or patio. They are simple to use and are a great choice for people who want the benefits of an outdoor fire without the dangers of an open flame.
Chimineas made of clay can be made from kiln-fired clay that is coated with a waterproof layer to ensure durability. They are manufactured and fired in small local factories to help support the economy and communities of Mexico. They are fired kiln-fired at high temperatures to remove any water or organic material in the clay. This decreases the chance of the clay cracking due to thermal shock.
A lot of our larger models have the option of cooking areas where you can cook food on the fire. This is a great choice for those who love cooking while entertaining at the same time. It will make for a fun addition to your dinners.
When you first begin to use your chiminea it is always best to build an initial small fire before you slowly increase the size of the fire. It is important to start small as the clay acts as a radiator. If you start large, the temperature will rise quickly. This can crack the clay as it isn't accustomed to the heat.

Maintenance
Chimineas, made from clay, are prone to cracking. Although this is usually an issue of minor importance but it can affect the appearance and performance of the chiminea. It is important to keep the chiminea in good condition in order to prevent this. This means cleaning it regularly and applying a sealant to protect it. It is important to store your chiminea properly to avoid damage from moisture and cold temperatures.
One of the primary reasons for cracks in a chiminea is poor handling. Handle a chiminea with care because it is a substantial piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it, touching anything that is likely to ignite, or firing it while it is hot. One dealer I spoke to said he could not assure his chimineas against breaking, because they were often broken due to careless handling, even before they were fired!
Another common cause of cracks on chimineas can be caused by using water to put out the fire. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature changes, and pouring water on a chiminea causes stress fractures and thermal shock. The most effective way to put out the flame in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally, or make use of sand.
It is important to buy the chiminea with an element of base. It will be simpler to clean, and it will look better in your garden. Chimineas without stands are difficult to move, particularly when the weather is stormy or rainy. You should also purchase a poker to assist you in manipulate the logs and a brush to get rid of soot and ash.
You must "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly after you first purchase it. Start by lighting small fires, then increase the size of your logs gradually. During this time the clay will get more resistant to cracks and will become more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is more efficient in holding a larger, controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you can begin to make larger fires with confidence. However, it is important to monitor the size of your fire and to not allow it to get too big or out of control.
