Clay Chiminea Large

Chimineas made of clay are a great option to have a relaxing outdoor fire. They are a little more fragile than iron chimineas and need special attention to ensure they last for a long period of time.

Fill the chiminea up with sand, 3-4 inches lower than its mouth. This will shield the chiminea during the first few times from flame contact and allow it to dry out.

Material

Since about 400 years clay chimineas have been utilized to heat the house and gather people for a meal and conversation. They are usually constructed of terracotta but they can also be made from other materials, such as cast iron or steel chiminea.

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

It is crucial to dry your new clay chiminea prior using it for the first time. This will stop it from cracking due the sudden temperature fluctuations of the fire. This is accomplished by putting two to three inches (or more) of river sand to the bottom of the chiminea. Start with small pieces, and then increase the size of the wood gradually. After a few small flames, your clay should be ready for use.
