Clay chimineas near me are constructed from clay fired in kilns and then coated with a waterproof glaze to ensure long-lasting durability. They are produced and fired in small local factories that support the economy and communities in Mexico. Kiln-fired to high temperatures, they are used to remove any organic or water content from the clay that is in its raw state. This decreases the chance of the clay cracking due to thermal shock.

A large portion of our chimineas are designed with an area for cooking that allows you to cook food over the fire. This is a fantastic feature for those that like to cook and entertain simultaneously. It will add a bit of enjoyment and flavor to dinners with family and friends.

When you are first starting to use your chiminea, it is best to start with an initial small fire before you slowly increase the size of the fire. It is essential to start small as the clay acts as a radiator. If you begin with a larger size the temperature will rise quickly. This can cause cracks in the clay because it isn't used to the temperature.

Maintenance

Chimineas are constructed from clay, which is susceptible to cracking. This is a minor issue, but it can have a negative impact on the appearance and functionality. It is important to maintain the chiminea correctly in order to prevent this. Cleaning it regularly and using sealant is part of this. Store your chiminea correctly to avoid damage from extreme cold and moisture.

Careless handling is one of the main causes cracks in Chiminea. Chimineas are a huge piece of china, and must be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it, not letting it touch anything that can burn or fire it when it is hot. A dealer once told me he didn't even guarantee his chimineas against breaking because the majority of them broke because of poor handling before they had been fired up once!

The use of water to put out the flame is another common reason for cracks in chimineas. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations and the act of pouring water over a chiminea causes thermal shock and stress fractures. The best way to extinguish a chiminea is to allow the fire die naturally or to make use of sand to put it out without risk.

It is essential to purchase a chiminea that comes with an element of base. It will be easier for you to clean, and it will look better in your garden. Chimineas that do not have stands can be difficult to move, especially when the weather is stormy or rainy. You should also purchase an instrument to help manipulate the logs and a brush to get rid of the ash and soot.

When you first purchase your chiminea it must be "cured" (broken in) slowly. Start with small fires and increase the size of logs gradually. During this process, the clay will become more seasoned and resistant to cracks. A seasoned chiminea will also hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, it is possible to start making full-size fires with confidence. But, it's essential to be aware of the size of your fire and to not allow it to get too big clay chiminea or out of control.
