Maintenance
Chimineas, which are made from clay, are prone to cracking. While this is typically not a major issue but it can affect the appearance and functionality of the chiminea. To prevent this from happening, it's important to maintain your chiminea properly. Cleaning it regularly and sealing it with sealant is a part of this. Store your chiminea correctly to avoid damage caused by the elements and cold temperatures.
One of the primary reasons for cracks in a chiminea is careless handling. A chiminea is like a large piece of fine china, and it should be handled with care. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could cause it to burn or firing it when it's hot. A dealer once told me he didn't even guarantee his chimineas against breakage since the majority of them broke because of poor handling before they were fired up once!
Another common cause of cracks on chimineas is using water to extinguish the fire. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations and the act of pouring water over a chiminea causes thermal shock and stress fractures. The best way to extinguish a
cast aluminum chiminea is to allow the fire die naturally or to use sand to extinguish it safely.
It is essential to purchase the chiminea with an element of base. It is easier to clean and will enhance the look of your yard. Chimineas with no stands can be difficult to move, particularly if it's windy or rainy. It is recommended to purchase a poker to assist you in move the logs, and a brush to get rid of the ash and soot.
When you first purchase your chiminea it should be "cured" (broken in) slowly. Begin with small fires, and gradually increase the size of your logs. As time passes, the clay will become more resistant to cracks and seasoned. A seasoned chiminea will also provide a bigger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you can begin making larger-sized fires with confidence. It is important to keep watch on the size of the fire to ensure it does not become out of control.
