Large Clay Chimineas For Sale

Clay chimineas must be protected from the elements. If exposed to cold and rain the chiminea of clay may be softer or break.

Chimineas that will be frequently used should be filled to 50mm with Sand or Gardeco Lava Stones (see Accessories above). This reduces contact between the chiminea and direct flames. It also helps the material to adapt to the gradual heat.

Size

Chimeneas can be the ideal size for many patios and gardens. The clay structure heats up and radiates warmth to the surrounding area, creating a warm fire and ambience. They also serve as wood-burning stoves that efficiently consume various aromatic hardwoods that give beautiful natural scents.

Smaller designs that taper to the shape of a chimney are perfect for smaller areas. Some are available in attractive colors, which can be used as an attractive element. They can be used to prepare food on an open flame and add an entirely new level of enjoyment to a backyard gathering.

Chimineas are painted by hand and therefore may fade slightly with use or if placed outside all the time. If this happens it could be lightly sanded and then repainted using an external Emulsion-based paint, though this isn't normally necessary.

Certain clay chimeneas have chrome BBQ so you can cook on an open flame. You can cook on an open flame while enjoying the ambiance.

In contrast to chimineas made of metal, clay is much safer to touch when they are hot, as the temperature is spread out over a wider surface. This also helps to prevent the clay's interior from cracking due too much heat. It is recommended to put 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see Accessories below) in the bottom of the chimenea, to minimize the contact of the clay with the most hot part of the fire and also to create an uneven heat pattern.

Chimineas are a green alternative to gas barbecues. Chimineas can be used with different fuels, including natural gas, propane, and charcoal. They are particularly efficient when used with aromatic hardwoods such as Apple, Cherry and Yew that burn slowly, releasing an exquisite scent and producing less ash. A chimenea must be covered when not in use to protect it from rain and snow because it could be hard to get a fire going if the clay becomes wet.

Design

A chimenea made of clay can be an excellent addition to any patio. The clay is fire-resistant and the design allows for an uncluttered, non-smoking fire. They are built with a large base that tapers into a chimney and stack. The chimney catches the flame and holds it high to allow it to warm your outdoor space. Many chimineas feature decorative details which enhance their design and add a stunning finishing touch for your garden or patio. A chimenea is an excellent choice for anyone with limited space who wants the warmth of an outdoor fire.

A chimenea can also be used for cooking. Certain models have an integrated barbecue that can be used to cook food on the fire.

They are also easier to maintain than chimineas made from metal because they are easier to clean, and they are not as susceptible to rust.

Function

Chimeneas are a safe method to enjoy an outdoor fire and can also add ambiance and light to your outdoor space. Since the beginning of time they have been used to provide warmth and light. They are now able to serve as them as a focal point in your patio or garden. They are simple to operate and a good alternative for those looking to enjoy the benefits of a fire pit outdoors without the dangers of an open flame.

Clay chimineas are constructed from kiln fired clay with a waterproof glaze that ensures long-lasting durability. They are made and fired in small local factories that help support communities and the economy in Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures, they are used to eliminate any organic or water content in the clay that is in its raw state. This reduces the chance of cracking in the clay as a result of thermal shock.

A large portion of our Chimineas come with cooking areas that allow you to grill food over the flame. This is an excellent feature for those who like to cook and entertain simultaneously and will add an extra element of fun and flavour to dinners with friends and family.

It is recommended to start with a small fire at first when you are using your chiminea. Then gradually increase the size. This is important because the clay acts as a radiator. Moreover, when you begin with a large flame, the temperature will rise too fast. This can crack the clay as it isn't accustomed to the heat.

Wrapped With Iron is one of the many designs in our extensive range of clay. This features the traditional clay look of Mexican pottery with an iron accent on the lid and stack. The design also comes with a detachable chimney stand and cover.

We also have the Honeycomb design clay chiminea which gives a modern-looking fire pit with a cross pattern on the bowl and stack. The model is lighter colour and softer tones. It also includes a removable stand and chimney cover.

Maintenance

Chimineas, made of clay, are prone to cracking. Although this is usually a minor problem, it can affect the appearance and performance of the chiminea for sale. It is important to maintain the steel chiminea correctly to avoid this. Cleaning it frequently and using sealant is part of this. Store your chiminea correctly to prevent damage from the elements and cold temperatures.

One of the main causes 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 fire it when it is hot. A dealer once told me that he didn't even guarantee his chimineas against breaking because they were most likely to break because of careless handling prior to the time they were fired up once!

Another reason for cracks in chimineas is the use of water to extinguish the fire. Clay is prone to sudden temperature fluctuations, and pouring hot water over a clay chiminea large can cause thermal shock and stress cracks. The best method to extinguish the chiminea is to let the fire die naturally or to use sand to extinguish it without risk.

It is important to buy an chiminea with a base. It will be easier to clean, and it will look nicer in your garden. Chimineas that do not have stands can be difficult to move, especially if the weather is stormy or rainy. You can also purchase a poker to help you move the logs and a brush for removing soot and ash.

When you first purchase your chiminea it needs to be "cured" (broken in) slowly. Start by lighting small fires, then increase the size of your logs gradually. As you progress the clay will get seasoned and more resistant to cracks. A seasoned chiminea is also able to hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small flames, it is possible to be in a position to start a large fire with confidence. However, it is still important to monitor the size of your fire and to not allow it to become too big or out of control.
