Clay Chiminea Large

Chimineas made from clay are a wonderful way to enjoy an outdoor fire. They are more fragile than iron ones and require a special treatment to make sure they last for an extended period of time.

Fill the chiminea with sand, about 3-4 inches below its mouth. This will protect the chiminea from direct contact with flames for the first few times and allows it to season.

Material

Clay chimineas have been used for about four hundred years to gather to talk and eat and also to warm the home. They are generally made of terracotta, but they can also be made from other materials, such as cast iron or steel.

Cast iron is more durable and less prone to damage caused by sudden temperature changes than terracotta chiminea. It can break and crack if not protected from snow or rain. Terracotta is more brittle but it is a gorgeous material that gives the chiminea a classic Mexican-inspired style.

It is crucial to make sure that the chiminea is cured before you use it for the first time. This will prevent it from cracking over time due to the sudden change in the temperature of the fire. This is done by placing around two to three inches of river sand at the bottom of the chiminea. Then, begin with small pieces of wood and gradually increase the size of the wood that you use. After a few small flames, your clay chiminea fire pit should be ready for use.

Clay chimineas are often sealed to prevent moisture from damaging them over time. This is a good idea for any outdoor fire pit, but it's particularly important for clay chimineas since the clay absorbs water and when exposed to it too often, it can break.

Additionally, they should never be stored in a closed space because repeated exposure to moisture could cause the clay to deteriorate or crack.
