Fuel

The type of fuel that is used in a chiminea is important as it influences how much smoke the appliance releases and can be a major influence on its usage.

When you start a fire, be sure to add small twigs and newspaper to the stack to make a good draft. Place pavers or sand that are fire-safe underneath the chiminea as it can get extremely hot. This is particularly true when adding more coals. Also, do not place items that are flammable in close proximity to the chiminea or near it after the chiminea has been fired because sparks and embers can spread quickly and cause fire hazards.

A chiminea must be placed on a fire-proof, sturdy outdoor surface, such as a concrete, brick or stone patio. It is not recommended to place it on a wooden deck since the sudden shift in temperature can crack clay or terracotta chimineas, and damage metal ones.

Maintenance

There are some things to keep your chiminea looking nice and make it last longer. Regular cleaning, application of protective sealants and adherence to the proper usage guidelines are the key to a long-lasting chiminea made of clay.

Another key maintenance step is to clean the inside and grill of the chiminea after every use. It's tempting to simply wipe it down, but using a cleaning product that is made specifically for outdoor use is vital. The best product is one that is made for outdoor use and is able to withstand temperatures of up to 105 degrees.

After the first few fires, you need to let it "cure". This is a process where you slowly build up the heat for around an hour and then let it go out naturally. This assists the clay in adjusting to the higher temperatures of regular burning and prevents cracking or breaking.

A grate must be installed inside the chiminea to in limiting the size of the fire as well as to keep ash from getting too big. Pea gravel, rock sand or chiminea rocks are excellent options for this purpose. Always use a fire that is smaller than what the chiminea can handle to avoid overheating and damaging the clay.

Finally, a chiminea must be covered when not in use to protect it from water damage. Rain or snow can cause rust on metal chimineas. It is not uncommon for clay to crack from being exposed to water. The majority of dealers offer covers for your chiminea. This is a good investment.
