Clay chimineas are made of clay fired in kilns and then coated with a waterproof glaze to ensure durability. They are made and fired in small, local factories to support the economy and communities of Mexico. They are fired at high temperatures in order to eliminate any water or organic material in the clay. This decreases the chance of the clay cracking due to thermal shock.

Maintenance
Chimineas made from
clay chiminea fire pit, are prone to cracking. This is not a major issue, but it can have a negative impact on the appearance and functionality. To prevent this, it is important to take care of your chiminea. Cleaning it frequently and sealing it with sealant is an integral part of this. Store your chiminea correctly to prevent damage from the elements and cold temperatures.
Handling with care is among the most frequent causes of cracks in a Chiminea. Handle a chiminea with care since it is a large piece fine china. Avoid dropping it, not letting it touch anything that could ignite or fire it when it is hot. A dealer once told me that the dealer didn't even provide a guarantee for his chimineas for breakage because most of them were broken because of careless handling prior to the time they were fired up once!
Another common cause of cracks on chimineas is using water to smother the fire. Clay is susceptible to sudden temperature changes and pouring hot water on a
clay chiminea could cause thermal shock and stress cracks. The best way to safely extinguish the fire in a chiminea is to let it die naturally or employ sand.
It is important to buy a
steel chiminea that comes with an base. It is easier to clean and make it more attractive in your backyard. Chimineas with no stands can be difficult to move, especially if it's rainy or windy. You should also purchase a poker to assist you in move the logs and a brush for removing soot and ash.
You should "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly after you first purchase it. Start with small fires and increase the size of logs gradually. As time passes, the clay will become more resistant to cracks and will become more seasoned.
