Chimineas made from clay are a wonderful way to enjoy a fire in the 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 fill it with sand three to four inches below the chiminea's mouth. This will protect the chiminea from the first few fires from contact with flames and allow it to season.

Material

Since around 400 years the use of clay chimineas has been used to heat homes and gather people around for food and conversation. They are generally made of terracotta, but they are also available with other materials such as cast iron or steel.

It is crucial to dry your new clay Chiminea before using it for the first time. This will prevent cracking from the sudden temperature changes of the fire.

Clay chimineas are also often sealed to help prevent water from causing damage over time. This is a great option for any type of outdoor fire pit, but it is especially essential for clay chimineas because the clay absorbs water and when exposed to it too often, it can crack.

Because they are heavier than other kinds of chimineas, clay ones must be set in a sturdy base that is made for outdoor fire pits. A patio hearth is an excellent choice for this purpose, since it creates a safe zone for fire on a deck or patio that is made of wood. The patio hearth should be at a minimum of 3 by 4 feet in size and can be constructed of bricks or pavers. If you don't want to construct a hearth for your patio, you can simply place the chiminea on a flat area of garden soil. This is not recommended as it may break or crack in the course of time.

This will protect it from direct heat and prevent the hot part from directly touching the clay, which can cause it to crack.
