Fuel

The kind of fuel used in a chiminea is important as it influences the amount of smoke that the appliance emits which could have a big impact on the use of the appliance. Too much smoke can disturb neighbors, and can cause complaints about noise. Kiln-dried wood is an excellent option because it emits very minimal amounts of smoke and is efficient in burning. It is more secure than fossil fuels such as charcoal, which emit huge amounts of smoke and have a higher impact on the environment.

Add a few twigs and newspapers in the beginning of a fire to create an adequate draft. Also, ensure that you place fire-safe pavers or sand beneath the chiminea, since it will become extremely hot, particularly when you add more coals. Avoid placing flammable items near the chiminea, or near it, after it has been lit. Sparks and embers will quickly spread, creating fire dangers.

Chimineas should be set on a sturdy outdoor, fire-safe, outdoor surface such as concrete, brick or stone patios. It is not recommended to place it on a wooden deck because the sudden change in temperature could crack clay or terracotta chimineas and cause damage to metal ones.

Avoid using a chiminea inside, as the carbon monoxide fumes created by the combustion of charcoal or wood are lethally dangerous. The fumes are smellless and tasteless, which makes them difficult to identify, and people who breathe them in may lose consciousness in seconds and then never regain consciousness. These fumes are extremely flammable, and can easily ignite your roof or other building.

Maintenance

There are a few actions you can take to ensure that your chiminea lasts longer and look good. To ensure that your chiminea is made of clay and will last a long time, it is important to clean regularly, apply protective sealants and follow the proper guidelines for use.

Chimineas made of clay are fragile and can crack or break easily if handled improperly. Unlike metal chimineas which can be painted easily, a clay chiminea requires special attention to safeguard it from damage and extend its life span.

Chimineas should be placed away from trees that hang over or branches that are low-hanging wires, as well as other flammable structures. It should also be placed on a non-flammable foundation such as tiles, concrete, or stone.

When cleaning a chiminea, the most important thing to do is to get rid of all of the soot and ash before adding more wood. This will ensure that the fire is burning safely, and minimizes any structural problems.

Another essential step in maintaining your chiminea is to clean the grill and inside of the chiminea after every use. It's tempting to simply clean it, but using a cleaning product that is designed specifically for outdoor use is vital. The most effective product is specifically designed for outdoor cleaning and can withstand temperatures up to 100 degrees.

After the first few fires, you must allow it to "cure". This is when you slowly build up the heat for about an hour before letting it naturally go out. This allows the clay to adjust to the higher temperatures, and also prevents it from cracking or breaking.

A grate must be installed inside the chiminea in order to limit the size of the fire and to prevent ash from building up. Rock sand, pea gravel or chiminea rock are great options for this purpose. To prevent damaging the clay make sure you build a fire that is smaller than the capacity of the chiminea.

Finally, a chiminea must be covered when not in use to shield it from water damage. Rain or snow can cause rust to metal chimineas and it is not uncommon for clay to break when exposed to moisture. The majority of dealers offer covers for your chiminea. This is a great investment.
