Clay Chiminea Large

Chimineas made of clay are a great way to enjoy a fire in the outdoor fire. They are more fragile than iron chimineas, and need special care to ensure they last for a long period of time.

Fill the chiminea with sand, about 3-4 inches below its mouth. This will protect the chiminea during the first few times from flame contact and allow it to dry out.

Material

Since about 400 years, clay chimineas are used to heat the home and gather people for food and conversation. They are usually constructed of terracotta but they can also be made of other materials, such as cast iron or steel.

Cast iron is more durable and less susceptible to damage caused by sudden temperature changes than terracotta. However, it could crack or break easily if not protected from rain and snow. Terracotta is more brittle however, it is a beautiful material that gives the chiminea an authentic Mexican-inspired look.

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

Chimineas made of clay can be sealed to prevent moisture from damaging the chimneys over time. This is an excellent idea for any fire pit outdoors. But it is essential for chimineas made of clay, as the clay absorbs moisture and may crack if exposed excessively.

While a chiminea made from clay is less likely to crack than metal, it will require some care to avoid the damage caused by moisture. Clay chimineas should be kept covered when not in use and they should not be kept inside as repeated exposure to moisture may cause the clay to break or crack.

Clay chimineas are heavier than other types of chimineas, and should be set on a base that is designed for outdoor fire pits. A hearth for a patio is a great option for this purpose, since it creates a fire-safe zone on the deck or patio made of wood. The patio hearth can be constructed using bricks or pavers and should be at a minimum a 3-by-4-foot space. If you don't wish to build a patio hearth it is possible to place the chiminea in a level patch of garden soil, however this isn't recommended because it could break or crack the chiminea in time.

Size

Chimineas can be quite fragile and susceptible to cracking due the fact that they need to endure changes in temperature and moisture therefore it is crucial to care for them properly. A cover will protect them from rain damage and can cause them to weaken over time and eventually crack. It is also recommended to put some 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see accessories above) at the bottom of the chimenea. this will protect it from direct heat and help keep the hottest part of the fire from touching the clay, which can cause cracks in the clay.

It is also a good idea to put a cap on the clay to prevent water seepage which again could cause them to crack and weaken over the years. The chimeneas that are capped with clay are a bit more expensive than those that are not capped, but they are worth the investment because it will extend their life span. It is also a good idea to keep them away from flammable objects since this could result in an accident.

Chimineas are designed for small fires. It's essential to start with kindling and small chiminea logs, then gradually increase the size of the fire over several uses. This allows the clay to heat slowly, reducing the chance of thermal shock, which can damage the clay.
