Large Clay Chimineas For Sale

Clay chimineas must be protected from the elements. Clay chimineas may break or soften when exposed to the rain and cold.

Chimineas to be frequently used should be filled 50mm with Sand or Gardeco Lava Stones (see Accessories above). This helps reduce the contact between the chiminea's direct flames. It also helps the clay material get used to a staggered heat.

Size

Chimeneas can be the perfect size for many patios and gardens. The clay structure radiates warmth and creates a warm atmosphere. They can also be used as wood stoves. They burn aromatic hardwoods to produce beautiful natural aromas.

For smaller spaces designs that taper towards the chimney are ideal. Some come in attractive colors, which can be used as a decorative element. They can be used to cook food over an open flame, an option that brings an added level of gratification and enjoyment to an outdoor gathering.

Chimineas are painted by hand which means they can fade slightly when used or kept outside for long periods of time. If this is an issue it is possible for the paint to be sanded and painted again with an exterior emulsion-based paint. This isn't always required.

Some clay chimeneas are equipped with chrome BBQ so you can cook your food over an open flame. This allows you to take in the ambience of a flame while cooking and it adds an extra flavor that's not possible with gas or electric cookers.

Contrary to metal chimineas chimineas are much safer to touch when hot because the temperature is spread out across a larger surface. This helps to prevent the clay inside from absorption of too much heat and fracturing. It is recommended to put 50mm of sand (or Gardeco lava stone) on the bottom of the bowl to prevent the clay from coming into contact with the hottest part and to create an even heat pattern.

Chimineas offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to gas barbecues. They can be used with various fuels, including propane, natural gases and charcoal. They are particularly effective when used with aromatic hardwoods such as Apple, Cherry and Yew that burn slowly, releasing the scent of a lovely fragrance and producing less ash. Cover the chimenea if it is not in use. This will shield it from snow or rain.

Design

A clay chimenea can be a great addition to any patio. The clay is fireproof and the design permits a clean, non-smoking flame. The base is large and is shaped to form the shape of a chimney. The chimney catches the flame and carries it to the top to ensure it is warm enough for your outdoor chiminea fireplace space. Many chimineas feature decorative details which enhance their design and add a stunning finishing design to your patio or garden. A chimenea is a great option for those with limited space who wants the warmth of an outdoor fire.

Chimeneas can also be used to cook. Some models come with a built-in barbecue that can be used to cook food on the fire. The adobe material or clay material absorbs heat and radiates outward. You don't have to build a huge fire to heat your food. They are also simpler to maintain than chimineas made of metal because they are more easily cleaned and aren't as susceptible to corrosion.

Clay chimineas can be made from kiln-fired clay that is coated with a waterproof coating to ensure durability. They are made and fired in small local factories that support the economy and communities in Mexico. They are fired at high temperatures to remove any water or organic material in the clay. This reduces the chance of cracking in the clay as a result of thermal shock.

Many of our larger models come with a cooking area where you can grill food over the flame. This is a great feature for those who like to cook and entertain at the same time and will add a bit of enjoyment and flavor to dinners with friends and family.

It is best to start with a small flame when you first start using your chiminea and then gradually increase the size. It is important to start small because the clay acts like an electric radiator. If you begin with a larger size, the temperature will quickly rise. The clay could crack because it isn't used to the heat.

Maintenance

Chimineas are made from clay, which is prone to cracking. Although this is typically a minor problem but it can affect the appearance and functionality of the chiminea. To prevent this from happening, it is essential to maintain your chiminea properly. Cleaning it regularly and using sealant is part of this. It is important to store your chiminea properly to avoid damage caused by the elements and cold temperatures.

Handling with care is among the main causes of cracks in a Chiminea. A chiminea is like a large piece of fine china, and should be handled with care. Avoid dropping it, letting it touch anything that can burn or ignite it while it is hot. A dealer once told me that he didn't even guarantee his chimineas against breaking because most of them were broken because of poor handling before they were fired up once!

The use of water to put out fires is another frequent reason for cracks in Chimineas. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature changes and the act of pouring water over a chiminea outdoor fireplace causes stress fractures and thermal shock. The best way to extinguish a chiminea is to let the fire die naturally, or to use sand to extinguish it in a safe manner.

It is essential to purchase an chiminea with an element of base. It will be easier to clean and will look better in your garden. Chimineas without stands are difficult to move, particularly if the weather is windy or rainy. You can also buy a poker to help you move the logs and a brush to remove soot and ash.

When you first purchase your chiminea it should be "cured" (broken in) slowly. Start with small fires, and then increase the size of your logs gradually. In this period the clay will become more resistant to cracks and will become more seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is also able to hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small flames, you'll be in a position to start a large fire with confidence. It is crucial to keep an an eye on the size of the fire to ensure it doesn't become out of control.
