Maintenance
Chimineas are made of clay, which is prone to cracking. This is not a major issue, but it could cause a negative impact on the appearance and performance. To prevent this from happening, it is essential to take care of your chiminea. This means cleaning it frequently and applying a sealant to protect it. It is also important to store your chiminea properly to avoid damage due to extreme temperatures and moisture.
Handling with care is among the most frequent causes cracks in Chiminea. A chiminea is like a large piece of fine china, and should be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could cause it to be burned or firing it when it's hot. One dealer I spoke to said he could not assure his chimineas against breakage, because they are often damaged by careless handling even before they were fired!
Another reason for cracks in chimineas is the use of water to smother the fire. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations, and pouring water on the chiminea results in thermal shock and stress fractures. The best way to safely extinguish the fire in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally, or use sand.
If you are purchasing an newest chiminea, it is important to select one that has a stand. It will be simpler to clean and will make it look more attractive in your backyard. Chimineas with no stands can be difficult to move, especially if it's rainy or windy. It is recommended to purchase an instrument to help move the logs, and a brush to remove the ash and soot.
When you first purchase your chiminea it needs to be "cured" (broken in) slowly. Start with small fires, and gradually increase the size of your logs. In this process, the clay will become seasoned and more resistant to cracks. A seasoned chiminea will also be more effective at holding a larger, well-controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you are able to begin making larger-sized fires with confidence. But, it's vital to keep track of the size of your fire, and not allow it to become too large or out of control.
