Large Clay Chimineas For Sale
Clay chimineas must be protected from the weather. If exposed to rain and cold a chiminea made of clay can be softer or break.
Chimineas that will be used regularly should be filled 50mm with Sand or Gardeco Lava Stones (see Accessories above). This reduces contact between the chiminea and direct flames. It also assists the material to adapt to the staggered heat.
Size
A chimenea is the perfect size for most patios and gardens. The clay structure heats up and radiates the warmth into the area, generating a cozy flame and an ambiance. They can also be used as wood stoves. They burn aromatic hardwoods to produce beautiful natural aromas.

Certain clay chimeneas have a chrome BBQ which allows you to cook over an open flame. This allows you to enjoy the ambiance of a fire while cooking a meal and it adds a flavor that's not feasible with electric or gas cookers.
Chimineas made from clay have a larger surface area than chimineas made of metal. This makes them safer to touch while they are hot. This also helps prevent the inner clay from absorbing too much heat and breaking. It is recommended to put 50mm of sand (or Gardeco lava stone) at the bottom to prevent the clay from coming in contact with the hotter part and to create a uniform heat pattern.
Chimineas provide a green alternative to gas barbecues. They can be used with different fuels that include natural gas, propane and charcoal. Chimineas work best when used with aromatic woods, such as Apple, Cherry, and Yew that burn slower and produce less ash. Chimeneas should be covered when not in use to protect it from snow and rain because it could be hard to start a fire if the clay becomes wet.
Design

Clay chimineas can be constructed from kiln-fired or kiln-baked clay and coated with a waterproof layer to ensure durability. They are made and fired in small local factories to help aid in the development of the communities and economy of Mexico. They are kiln fired at high temperatures to eliminate any organic material or water in the clay. This decreases the chance of cracking the clay due to thermal shock.
Many of our larger models come with a cooking area that allows you to grill food on the flame. This is a fantastic feature for those who like to cook and entertain simultaneously and will add an extra element of fun and flavour to your dinners with your family and friends.
When you are first starting to use your chiminea, it is best to start with a small fire and slowly increase the size of the fire. This is important because the clay acts as a radiator. Moreover, if you start with a large fire, the temperature will increase too fast. The clay can crack as it's not able to absorb the heat.

Maintenance
Chimineas, which are made of clay, are prone to cracking. This is not a major problem, but it could have a negative impact on the appearance and performance. To prevent this, it is important to maintain your chiminea properly. Cleaning it frequently and sealing it with sealant is an integral part of this. It is also important to properly store your chiminea to avoid damage due to cold temperatures and moisture.
One of the main causes for cracks in a chiminea is poor handling. Chimineas are a large piece of fine china, and it should be handled carefully. Avoid dropping modern chiminea Fireplaces And Stoves or letting it touch anything that could ignite or fire it when it is hot. A dealer once told me that the dealer didn't even provide a guarantee for his chimineas against breaking because most of them were broken because of poor handling before they had been fired up once!
Another common cause of cracks in chimineas is the use of water to put out the fire. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature changes and pouring water on a chiminea causes thermal shock and stress fractures. The best method to extinguish the chiminea is to let the fire die naturally or to use sand to extinguish it in a safe manner.
When you purchase a new Chiminea, it is crucial to choose one that has an accompanying stand. It will be simpler for you to clean, and will look better in your garden. Chimineas that do not have stands can be difficult to move, particularly if it's rainy or windy. You can also purchase a poker to help you move the logs and a brush for getting rid of soot and ash.
When you first purchase your chiminea it needs to be "cured" (broken into) slowly. Start by lighting small fires, then increase the size of your logs gradually. In this period the clay will get more resistant to cracks and will become more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is more efficient in holding a larger, controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you can begin to make larger fires with confidence. However, it is essential to be aware of the size of your fire and to not allow it to grow too large or get out of control.
