Clay Chiminea Large

Chimineas made of clay are a great way to enjoy an outdoor fire. They are more fragile than iron ones and require special care to make sure they last for an extended period of time.

Material

Since around 400 years clay chimineas have been used to heat the home and gather people around for a meal and conversation. They are generally made from terracotta, however, they can also be found in a variety of other materials, including cast iron and steel.

Cast iron is more durable and less prone to damage caused by sudden temperature changes than terracotta. It can crack and break when not shielded from snow or rain. Terracotta is more brittle but it is a beautiful material that gives the chiminea a classic Mexican look.

It is crucial to dry a new clay chiminea before using it for the first time. This will prevent it from cracking over time from the sudden change in the temperature of the fire. This is accomplished by putting two to three inches (or more) of river sand to the bottom of the chiminea. After that, start with small pieces of kindling and gradually increase the size of the wood you choose to use. After a few brief flames, your clay will be ready to use.

Clay chimineas are typically sealed to stop moisture from destroying them over time. This is ideal for any fire pit outdoors. However, it is crucial for chimineas made from clay, since the clay absorbs moisture, and could crack if exposed to it too much.
