Clay Chiminea large (morphomics.science)

Clay chimineas are a lovely option to enjoy fires in the outdoors. They are more fragile than iron ones and require a special treatment to make sure they last for a long time.

Before you use your chiminea for the very first time, fill it with sand 3-4 inches below the chiminea fire pit's mouth. This will protect the chiminea during the first few times from contact with flames, and allow it to season.

Material

Chimineas made of clay have been used for around four hundred years to gather around to talk and eat and to keep warm in the home. They are typically made from terracotta, but they are also available in a variety of materials, such as cast iron and steel.

Cast iron is more durable than terracotta and it is less prone to damage from sudden temperature changes. However, it is susceptible to cracks or break easily if it is not protected from rain and snow. Terracotta is a bit more fragile, but it is a gorgeous material that gives the chiminea a classic Mexican-inspired style.

It is important to cure your new clay chiminea prior using it for the first time. This will prevent it from cracking due to the sudden change in the temperature of the fire. You can do this by placing approximately two to three inches of river sand into the bottom of the chiminea. Then, begin with small pieces of kindling and gradually increase the size of the wood you use. After some small fires the clay is ready to start using.

Clay chimineas can be sealed to prevent moisture from destroying the chimineas over time. This is a great idea for any outdoor fire pit. But it is essential for chimineas made from clay, since the clay absorbs moisture and may crack if exposed excessively.

While a clay chiminea is less likely to break than metal, it will still require some care to prevent water damage. Chimineas made from clay should be covered when not in use, and they should never be stored inside as repeated exposure to moisture could cause the clay to break or crack.

Because they are heavier than other kinds of chimineas, clay chimineas need to be placed in an extremely solid base specifically designed to accommodate outdoor fire pits. A hearth for a patio is an excellent choice for this purpose, since it creates a fire-safe zone on a deck or patio that is made of wood. The patio hearth can be built using pavers or bricks and should be at least a 3-by-4-foot area. If you don't want to build a hearth for your patio it is possible to place the chiminea in an even patch of soil in your garden, but this isn't recommended since it may break or crack the chiminea in time.
