Large Clay Chimineas For Sale

Clay chimineas must be protected from the weather. If left exposed to cold and rain, a clay chiminea can get softer or crack.

Chimineas that are frequently used should be filled with 50mm of sand or Gardeco Lava stones (see Accessories above). This will reduce contact between the Chiminea and direct flames. It also allows the material to adapt to the gradual heat.

Size

A chimenea is a great size for the majority of patios and gardens. The clay structure warms up and radiates the warmth to the surrounding area, generating a cozy fire and ambience. They can also be used as wood stoves. They burn aromatic hardwoods to produce gorgeous natural scents.

Certain clay chimeneas come with a chrome BBQ grill so you can cook food over an open flame. You can cook on an open flame while enjoying the ambience.

Contrary to metal chimineas chimineas are much more safe to touch if they are hot because the temperature is spread out across a larger surface. This helps keep the clay inside from taking in too much heat and fracturing. It is recommended to place 50mm of sand (or Gardeco lava stone) on the bottom of the bowl to prevent the clay from coming in contact with the most hot part and to create an even heat pattern.

Chimineas provide a green alternative to gas barbecues. Chimineas can be used with various fuels, including natural gas, propane and charcoal. They are especially effective when used with aromatic hardwoods like Apple, Cherry and Yew that burn slowly, releasing the scent of a lovely fragrance and producing less ash. A chimenea should be covered when not in use to protect it from rain and snow as it may be hard to get a fire going in the event that the clay gets wet.

Design

A clay chimenea can be an excellent addition to any patio. The clay is fire-resistant and the design allows for a clean, non-smoking flame. They are built with a large base that tapers to a chimney and stack. The chimney catches the flame and holds it high so that it can warm your outdoor space.

Function

Chimeneas are a safe option to have the fire outdoors and also add ambiance and light to your outdoor space. They have been used for ages to provide warmth and warmth, but now can be used as an attractive focal feature in your patio or garden area. They are simple to use and are a good option for those who do not want the dangers of an open flame but still want to enjoy the advantages.

Clay chimineas are made of kiln fired clay with a waterproof glaze to ensure durability. They are made and fired in small, local factories to support the economy and communities of Mexico. They are fired at high temperatures in order to eliminate any organic material or water in the clay. This reduces the chance of cracking the clay because of thermal shock.

A lot of our larger models come with a cooking area where you can grill food over the flame. This is a great choice for those who like cooking while entertaining simultaneously. It can make for a fun addition to your meals.

It is recommended to begin with a small chiminea flame at first when you are using your chiminea, and then gradually increase the size. This is because the clay acts as a radiator. Moreover, if you start with a large flame, the temperature will increase too fast. The clay could crack because it's not exposed to the heat.

Maintenance

Chimineas, made of clay, are prone to cracking. Although this is usually a minor problem however, it can impact the appearance and performance of the chiminea. It is crucial to maintain the chiminea correctly in order to prevent this. This includes cleaning it regularly and applying a sealant to protect it. It is also important to store your chiminea properly to avoid damage from extreme temperatures and moisture.

One of the primary reasons for cracks in a chiminea can be due to careless handling. Handle a chiminea with care because it is a huge piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it or not letting it touch anything that can burn or ignite it while it is hot. One dealer told me he did not guarantee his chimineas from breaking because they are often damaged by careless handling even before they were fired!

Another reason for cracks on chimineas is using water to put out the fire. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations and the act of pouring water over the chiminea results in thermal shock and stress fractures. The best chiminea method to put out the flame in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally, or use sand.

When you purchase a new chiminea outdoor fireplace, it is important to choose one that has a stand. It will be easier for you to clean, and will look better in your garden. Chimineas with no stands can be difficult to move, particularly if it is windy or rainy. You should also purchase an instrument to help move the logs, and a brush to remove soot and ash.

When you first purchase your chiminea it must be "cured" (broken into) slowly. Start with small fires and then gradually increase the size of your logs. As time passes the clay will get more resistant to cracks and more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is also more effective at holding a larger, controlled fire pit with chiminea. After three or four small flames, you'll be in a position to start a large fire with confidence. However, it is still vital to keep track of the size of your fire, and not allow it to get too big or out of control.
