Clay Chiminea large (content)

Clay chimineas are a lovely way to enjoy outdoor fires. They are a bit more fragile than iron chimineas and need special care to ensure they last for a long time.

Fill the chiminea with sand, 3-4 inches lower than its mouth. This will protect the chiminea from direct contact with flames for the first few fires and allows it to get the chance to season.

Material

Since about 400 years clay chimineas have been used to heat the home and gather people around to share food and conversations. They are typically constructed from terracotta clay but they are also available in a variety of other materials, like cast iron and steel.

Cast iron is more durable than terracotta and is less susceptible to damage caused by abrupt temperature changes. However, it is susceptible to cracks or break easily if not shielded from rain and snow. Terracotta is more brittle, but it is a beautiful and durable material that gives the chiminea a classic Mexican style.

It is essential to dry your new clay chiminea prior to using it for the very first time. This will stop it from cracking due to the sudden shift in the temperature of the fire. This is accomplished by adding two to three inches (or more) of river sand in the bottom of the chiminea. Start with small pieces, and then increase the size of the wood gradually. After some small fires the clay is ready to start using.

Clay chimineas can be sealed to prevent moisture from damaging the chimineas over time. This is a good idea for any outdoor fire pit, but it's especially important for clay chimineas as the clay absorbs water, and when exposed to water often enough, it may break.

Chimineas made from clay should be covered when not in use. Additionally, they should not be kept in a closed space because repeated exposure to moisture can cause the clay to crumble or crack.

Clay chimineas are heavier than other types of chimineas and should be placed on a base designed for outdoor fire pits. This can be achieved by putting a patio hearth on the deck or patio of a wooden structure. It creates a safe zone from fire. The hearth in the patio can be constructed using pavers or bricks and should have at least a three-by-four-foot area. If you do not want to build a hearth for your patio, you can simply place the chiminea on an area of garden soil. This is not recommended, as it is likely to break or crack over time.
