Clay Chiminea Large

Chimineas made from clay are a wonderful way to enjoy an outdoor fire. They are more fragile than iron chimineas and require particular attention to ensure that they last for a long time.

Before using your Chiminea for the first time, make sure you fill it with sand about 3-4 inches below the chiminea's mouth. This protects the top rated chiminea from direct contact with flames during the initial few fires and allows it to get the chance to season.

Material

Chimineas from clay have been in use for around four hundred years as a place to gather around for conversation and food, and also to warm the home. They are usually constructed from terracotta clay although they are also available in a variety of other materials, including cast iron and steel chiminea.

Cast iron is more durable than terracotta, and is less susceptible to damage from abrupt temperature fluctuations. However, it can crack or break easily if not shielded from rain and snow. Terracotta is more delicate, but gives the chiminea a genuine Mexican look.

It is crucial to let your large clay chiminea cure chiminea prior to using it for the very first time. This will prevent it from cracking from the sudden change in the temperature of the fire. You do this by putting around two to three inches of river sand in the bottom of the chiminea. After that, start with small pieces of wood and gradually increase the size of the wood you use. After some small fires the clay should be ready to use.

Clay chimineas can be sealed to prevent moisture from damaging the chimineas clay over time. This is a great idea for any outdoor fire pit, but it is especially essential for clay chimineas since the clay absorbs water and when exposed to water frequently enough, it could crack.

Clay chimineas are less likely to crack than metal chimineas, but they must be handled with care in order to avoid moisture damage. Clay chimineas should be kept covered when not in use and they should never be stored in a closed space because repeated exposure to moisture can cause the clay to deteriorate or crack.

Because they are heavier than other types of chimineas made from clay, they need to be placed in a solid base specifically designed to accommodate outdoor fire pits. A patio hearth is a great option for this purpose, as it creates a fire-safe zone on a deck or patio that is made of wood. The hearth on the patio should be at a minimum of 3 feet by 4 feet and can be constructed of pavers or bricks. If you don't want to construct a hearth for your patio, you can simply place the chiminea in a flat area of garden soil. This is not recommended as it is likely to break or crack in the course of time.

Size

Chimineas are quite fragile and prone to cracking due to the fact that they have to withstand changes in temperature and humidity, therefore it is essential to look after them properly. It is always a good idea to get an enclosure for them, as this will protect them from rain damage that can cause them to shrink and crack over time. It's also a good idea to put some Gardeco lava stone or 50mm of sand on the bottom of your chimenea. This will protect it from direct heat and prevent the hot part from directly touching the clay which can cause it crack.

A cap made of clay is beneficial as it will stop water seepage, which can result in them weakening over time and crack. Clay-capped chimeneas may be a bit more costly however they will last longer. It is also an excellent idea to keep them away from objects that are flammable since this could result in an accident and also to never place them in windy areas as this can cause smoke to flow in unintended directions, which could make it difficult to use.
