Maintenance
Chimineas are constructed from clay, which is prone to cracking. This is not a major issue, but it can cause a negative impact on the appearance and functionality. It is essential to keep the chiminea in good condition in order to prevent this. Cleaning it regularly and sealing it with sealant is an integral part of this. Store your chiminea correctly to avoid damage caused by the elements and cold temperatures.
One of the main causes for cracks in a chiminea is careless handling. Be careful when handling a
indoor chiminea since it is a huge piece of fine china. Avoid dropping it, not letting it touch anything that can burn or ignite it while it is hot. A dealer once told me the dealer didn't even provide a guarantee for his chimineas for breakage because the majority of them broke due to careless handling before they were fired up once!
Using water to extinguish the flame is another common cause of cracks in chimineas. Clay is prone to sudden temperature fluctuations, and pouring hot water onto a clay chiminea could cause stress cracks and thermal shock. The best way to safely extinguish the fire in a chiminea is to let it die naturally, or make use of sand.
It is crucial to buy a chiminea that comes with a base. It will be easier to clean and will make it look more attractive in your backyard. Chimineas that do not have stands can be difficult to move, particularly if it is windy or rainy. You should also purchase a poker to help you move the logs, and a brush to remove the ash and soot.
