Large Clay Chimineas For SaleChimineas made of clay need to be protected from the elements. If left exposed to cold and rain, a clay chiminea can be softer or break.
Chimineas that are frequently used should be filled with 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see Accessories above). This will reduce contact between the chiminea and the direct flames. It also assists the material to get used to the gradual heat.
Size
A chimenea can be the perfect size for a variety of gardens and patios. The clay structure radiates warmth and creates a warm atmosphere. They also serve as wood-burning stoves, efficiently consuming the various hardwoods that give beautiful natural aromas.
For smaller spaces design that taper to the chimney are ideal. Some are available with attractive colors that add an attractive element. They can be used to prepare food on an open flame, adding a new level of enjoyment to a backyard party.
Chimineas were made by hand and then painted. They can discolor when placed outside. If this is an issue it is possible for the paint to be sanded and repainted with an exterior emulsion-based paint. This isn't usually required.
Some clay chimeneas are equipped with a chrome BBQ that allows you to cook on an open flame. This allows you to enjoy the ambiance of a flame while cooking your meal and it adds an extra flavor that's not feasible with electric or gas cookers.
Unlike metal chimineas, clay chimineas are much more safe to touch if they are hot because the temperature is spread out over a wider area. This will also stop the inner clay from cracking due excessive heat. It is recommended to place 50mm of sand (or Gardeco lava stone) on the bottom of the bowl to prevent the clay from coming into contact with the hottest part and to create an even heat pattern.
Chimineas are an environmentally friendly alternative to gas grills and are suitable for a wide range of fuel types, including natural gas,
propane chiminea, and charcoal. They are especially effective when used with aromatic hardwoods like Apple, Cherry and Yew that burn slowly, releasing a beautiful fragrance and producing less ash. Cover the chimenea when not in use. This will shield it from rain or snow.
Design
A chimenea made of clay can be an ideal addition to any patio. The clay is fire-resistant and the design allows for an uncluttered, non-smoking fire. The base is wide and tapers into an chimney. The chimney holds the flame at a high level and allows it to warm the outdoor area. A number of chimineas come with decorative details which enhances their design and adds a stunning finish to your patio or garden. A chimenea is an excellent option for those with limited space and who would like the warmth of a fire in the outdoor.
A chimenea is also ideal for cooking. Some models have built-in grills that can be used to grill food over the flame. The adobe or clay material absorbs heat and radiates it to the outside which means you don't have to build a large fire to keep your food hot. They are also simpler to maintain than chimineas made from metal because they can be cleaned more easily, and they are not as susceptible to corrosion.

Function
Chimeneas are a great way to enjoy a fire outdoors in a safe way. It can also add the appearance of light and ambience to your outdoor area. Since centuries, they have been used to provide warmth and light. Today, you can use them as a focal point for your patio or garden. They are simple to use and are a great choice for people who want the benefits of a fire pit outdoors without the dangers of an open flame.
Clay chimineas are made of clay fired in kilns and then coated with a waterproof glaze that ensures the durability. They are made and fired in small, local factories to support the economy and communities of Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures they are used to remove any organic or water-based content in the raw clay. This decreases the chance of cracking the clay due to thermal shock.
A lot of our larger models include the option of cooking areas where you can cook food on the flame. This is a great choice for those who want to cook while entertaining at the same time. It will bring a sense of fun to your meals.
It is recommended to begin with a small fire when you first start using your chiminea. Then gradually increase the size. It is crucial to start small since the clay acts as an electric radiator. If you begin with a larger size, the temperature will rise quickly. The clay could crack because it isn't used to the heat.

cast iron chiminea is one of the many designs in our large clay range. This design is based on the classic clay look of a Mexican pottery, with an iron accent on the lid and the stack. This design comes with a removable stand and chimney cover.
We also have the Honeycomb design clay chiminea which offers a more modern looking fire pit with a cross pattern on the bowl and the stack. This model is lighter in shade and more soft tones. It also includes a removable stand and chimney cover.
Maintenance
Chimineas, which are made from clay, are prone to cracking. This is a minor issue, but it could have a negative impact on the appearance and performance. It is important to keep the chiminea clean in order to prevent this. This means cleaning it regularly and using a protective sealant. It is important to store your chiminea properly to avoid damage caused by extreme cold and moisture.
One of the main reasons for cracks in a chiminea is careless handling. Take care when handling a
ceramic chiminea because it is a substantial piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it or letting it touch anything that could ignite or ignite it while it is hot. One dealer told me he could not assure his chimineas from breaking because they were often broken due to careless handling, even after they were fired up!
Another common cause of cracks on chimineas is using water to extinguish the fire. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature changes and pouring water on the chiminea can cause stress fractures and thermal shock. The most effective way to put out the flame in a chiminea is to let it die naturally, or make use of sand.
It is important to buy a
chiminea fireplaces that comes with a base. It is easier to clean and will enhance the look of your yard. Chimineas that do not have stands can be difficult to move, particularly if it's rainy or windy. You should also buy a poker to assist you in move the logs and a brush to get rid of the ash and soot.

When you first purchase your chiminea it needs to be "cured" (broken into) slowly. Start with small fires, and then increase the size of your logs gradually. As time passes the clay will get more resistant to cracks and will become more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is also able to hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, it is possible to begin to make larger fires with confidence. It is essential to keep an watch on the size of the fire to ensure that it does not become out of control.
