Clay Chiminea Large

Chimineas made from clay are a wonderful way to enjoy a fire in the outdoor fire. 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 flame during the initial few fires and lets it get a season.

Material

Since about 400 years clay chimineas have been used to heat homes and bring people together to share food and conversations. They are typically constructed from terracotta clay however, they can also be found in a number of other materials, such as cast iron and 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 however, it is a beautiful and durable material that gives the chiminea a classic Mexican look.

It is important to cure a new clay chiminea before you start using it for the first time. This will stop it from cracking due the sudden temperature changes of the fire. You do this by putting about two to three inches of river sand in the bottom of the chiminea. Then, begin with small pieces of wood and gradually increase the size of the wood you choose to use. After a few small flames, your clay should be ready to use.

The chimineas made of clay are often sealed to prevent moisture from destroying them over time. This is ideal for any fire pit outdoors. However, it is crucial for clay chimineas, because the clay absorbs moisture and may be damaged if exposed too long.

Although a chiminea made of clay is less likely to crack than metal, it will still require some attention to avoid moisture damage. Chimineas made from big clay chiminea should be covered when not in use, and they should never be stored inside as repeated exposure to moisture may cause the clay to break or crack.

Since they weigh more than other types of chimineas, clay chimineas require a solid base specifically designed to accommodate outdoor chiminea fire pits. This can be accomplished by putting a hearth for a patio on a deck or patio made of wood. It provides a secure zone from the dangers of fire. The hearth in the patio can be constructed using bricks or pavers, and it should be at least a three-by-four-foot area. If you do not want to build a hearth for your patio, you could simply place the chiminea in a flat patch of garden soil. This is not recommended as it is likely to break or crack in the course of time.

It is always a good idea to get an enclosure for them, since it protects them from damage caused by rain, which could cause them to become weaker and crack with time. It is also a great idea to put some Gardeco lava stone or 50mm of sand on the bottom of your chimenea. This will shield it from direct heat and prevent the hot part from directly touching the clay, which can cause it to crack.
