Clay Chiminea large clay chiminea - next page,

Clay chimineas offer an attractive alternative to enjoying outdoor fires. They are a little more fragile than iron chimineas and require special care to ensure they last for a long period of time.

Fill the chiminea up with sand, 3-4 inches below its mouth. This will shield the chiminea from the first few times from contact with flames, and allow it to season.

Material

Since about 400 years, clay chimineas are used to heat homes and bring people together for a meal and conversation. They are generally constructed from terracotta, however they can also be made from other materials, such as cast iron or steel.

Cast iron is more durable and less susceptible to damage caused by sudden temperature fluctuations than Terracotta. It is susceptible to cracking and breaking when it is not protected from snow or rain. Terracotta is more brittle, but it is a beautiful and durable material that gives the chiminea an authentic Mexican-inspired look.

It is essential to make sure that the chiminea is cured before you start using it for the first time. This will prevent cracking from the sudden temperature fluctuations of the fire. This is done by adding two to three inches (or more) of river sand to the bottom of the chiminea. After that, start with small pieces of kindling and gradually increase the size of the wood that you use. After a few small fires, the clay is ready to use.

Clay chimineas are also often sealed to help prevent moisture from damaging them over time. This is an excellent idea for any outdoor fire pit. However, it is crucial for chimineas made from clay, since the clay absorbs moisture and can be damaged if exposed too much.

While a clay chiminea is less likely to crack than metal, it will require some care to avoid water damage. Clay chimineas should be covered when not being utilized and should not be kept inside. Moisture can cause clay to crack or crumble.

Since they weigh more than other kinds of chimineas, clay chimineas need to be placed in a sturdy base that is made to accommodate outdoor chiminea fireplace fire pits. This can be achieved by putting a patio hearth on the deck or patio of a wooden structure. It provides a secure area from the dangers of fire. The patio hearth can be built with pavers or bricks and should have at a minimum a 3-by-4-foot space. If you do not want to build a patio hearth it is possible to place the chiminea on a level patch of soil in your garden, but this isn't advised because it could crack or break the chiminea in time.

The clay capped chimeneas are a bit more costly than those that are not capped, but it is worth the investment as it will greatly prolong their lifespan.
