Size

A large chiminea adds ambience to outdoor spaces. It creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere that encourages friends and family to gather around to have a good time. You can also cook meals in it and enjoy a warm fireplace all year round. You can choose from a variety of sizes to fit your garden. A large chiminea can warm up a larger patio while a smaller chiminea would be better suited to a smaller garden.

The size of the chiminea determines the amount of heat it generates. The size of the chimney or mouth can also influence the amount of smoke is generated by the chiminea. A chimney with an open mouth will release more chiminea smoke than one with a small opening.

Traditionally, chimineas are made of clay, but modern designs of chimineas can be found in metal, like cast iron or steel. The ones made of clay or terracotta chiminea typically feature a traditional pot-belly base, but they are available in many different styles that fit in with a variety of styles. Chimineas made from clay aren't as sturdy as those made from metal, and require more maintenance. They also require a permanent spot as they are susceptible to being damaged by rain and wind.

A chiminea must be placed on a base of bricks, concrete, or other stones to stop it from getting wet. It should also be located away from the house and any overhanging trees to prevent damage from the elements. Chimineas can be mobile, meaning they can be moved around the yard to add ambiance and warmth.

If you're thinking of using your chiminea as an outdoor cooking space it is worth getting a chiminea that is equipped with a grill. These chimineas are often called grate chimineas, and they can be used to grill burgers and steaks on the grill. They are typically constructed with lids to keep the flame and sparks contained, but they can be lifted to reveal a huge grate for grilling.

They tend to be more affordable than larger sized ones and are perfect for smaller spaces or patios with a retractable awning.

Always place your chiminea in a level, fire-proof surface such as brick or concrete. You should also be sure not to place it under an overhang or any other type of roof, as it could catch fire. If you can, set it up on a patio that is raised to prevent rainwater from damaging it.

The Medium Sun clay-fired chiminea has a unique honeycomb pattern on its Earthenware exterior. It also includes a stackable cover and stand. It has a smaller bowl and is smaller than other choices. The medium-sized blossoms are similar, however its tones are more focused on brown and yellow in contrast to the Sun. It also features an enhanced iron base that supports the base and stack.

Fuel

The type of fuel used in a chiminea is vital as it determines the amount of smoke that the appliance emits, which can have a big impact on its use. Too much smoke can disturb neighbors, and can cause complaints about noise. Kiln-dried wood is an excellent option since it releases minimal amounts of smoke and is efficient in burning. It is more efficient over fossil fuels like charcoal, which produce huge amounts of smoke.

When you start the fire, be sure to add newspaper and small twigs to the stack to create a strong draft. Place sand or pavers that are safe for fire under the chiminea, as it could get very hot. This is especially true when adding more coals. Never place flammable items near the chiminea, or near it, once it has been lit. Sparks and embers could spread quickly, causing fire hazards.

A chiminea must be placed on a solid, outdoor, fire-safe surface, such as brick, concrete, or stone patios. It should not be set on a wooden deck, since the sudden shift in temperature can crack clay or terracotta chimineas, and even damage metal ones. It is also recommended to keep the chiminea away from trees that might collapse or other structures such as sheds.

Never use a chiminea indoors because carbon monoxide fumes released by burning wood or charcoal are lethally dangerous. These fumes have no smell or taste, which is why they are difficult to detect. People who breathe them in can lose consciousness within seconds and never awaken. They are also extremely inflammable and could easily cause a fire on the roof of your house or other structure.

Maintenance

You can do a few things to keep your chiminea looking nice and to make it last longer. Regular cleaning, the application of sealants to protect it and adherence to the proper usage guidelines are the keys to a chiminea that lasts for a long time.

Clay chimineas can easily break or crack if they are handled incorrectly. Chimineas made of clay require special care, unlike chimineas made of metal which can be easily painted. This will help to prolong the longevity of the chiminea and safeguard it from damage.

Chimineas should be kept away from trees that hang over and branches with low hanging height wires, and other flammable structures. It should also be placed on a non-flammable base such as tile, concrete or stone.

When cleaning a chiminea, the most important thing to do is to get rid of all the soot and ash before adding more wood. This will ensure that the fire is burning without danger, and will minimize any structural problems.

Another key maintenance step is to clean the inside and grill of the chiminea after each use. While it might be tempting to simply clean it with an ordinary cloth, a specialist cleaning product is essential. The most effective product is specifically designed for outdoor cleaning and can withstand high temperatures.

After the first few times you light in a new chiminea you must allow it to "cure". This is a process in which you slowly build up the heat for around an hour, and then let it die naturally. This allows the clay to adjust to the higher temperatures of regular burning, and also prevents cracking or breaking.

Make use of a grate inside the chiminea in order to limit the size of the flame and prevent the buildup of ash. Rock sand, pea gravel or chiminea rock are great alternatives for this purpose. Always use an open fire that is smaller than the chiminea is able to handle in order to avoid overheating and damaging the clay.

A chiminea should be covered even when not being used. This will protect it from water damage. Rain or snow will cause rust on metal chimineas clay, and it's not uncommon for clay to crack when exposed moisture. The majority of dealers sell covers for your chiminea. This is a great investment.
