large clay chimineas for sale (read this post from masterfurniture.co.kr)

Chimineas made of clay should be protected from the elements. Clay chimineas can be damaged or brittle when left in the cold and rain.

Chimineas that are regularly used should be filled with 50mm of sand or Gardeco Lava stones (see Accessories above). This reduces contact between the chiminea and the direct flames. It also assists the material to adapt to the uneven heat.

Size

Chimeneas can be the ideal size for many patios and gardens. The clay structure heats up and radiates the heat into the surrounding area, providing a cozy fire and ambiance. They can also be used as wood stoves. They burn aromatic hardwoods to create stunning natural aromas.

Smaller designs that taper to a chimney are ideal for smaller spaces. Some are available in a number of attractive colors that provide a decorative accent. They are a great way to cook food over an open fire which adds a new level of enjoyment to backyard parties.

Chimineas are hand-crafted and painted by hand. They may discolor when left outside. If this happens, the paint can be lightly sanded and repainted using an exterior Emulsion-based paint, though this isn't typically necessary.

Some clay chimeneas come with chrome BBQ which allows you to cook over an open flame. This allows you to enjoy the ambiance of a fire while cooking a meal and it adds a layer of flavour that isn't possible with gas or electric cookers.

Clay chimineas have a much larger surface area than chimineas made of metal. This makes them safer to touch while they are hot. This helps to prevent the clay's interior from absorbing too much heat and fracturing. It is recommended to put 50mm of sand or Gardeco lava stones (see Accessories below) in the bottom of the chimenea, to minimize the contact of the clay with the most hot part of the fire and to create an uneven heat pattern.

Chimineas are an environmentally friendly alternative to gas grills and are suitable for a variety of fuel types including propane, natural gas and charcoal. They are particularly effective when used with aromatic hardwoods like Apple, Cherry and Yew which burn slowly, leaving an exquisite scent and producing less ash. Chimeneas should be covered when not in use to shield it from snow and rain as it may be hard to start a fire if the clay becomes wet.

Design

A clay chimenea is great addition to any patio. The clay is fireproof and the design permits an uncluttered, non-smoking fire. They're built with a large base that tapers into an elongated chimney and stack. The chimney holds the flame up high and allows it to warm your outdoor area. Many chimineas feature decorative details which enhance their design adding a stunning final design to your garden or patio. A chimenea is a great option for those with limited space who wants the warmth of a fire in the outdoor chiminea.

A chimenea can also be used to cook. Some models have built-in grills that can be used for barbecuing food on the fire. The clay or adobe material absorbs heat and then radiates it outward and you don't have to build a huge fire to get your food hot. They are also more easy than metal chimineas to maintain since they can be easily cleaned and are less susceptible to corrosion.

Function

Chimeneas are a safe method to enjoy an outdoor fire and can also add ambiance and light to your outdoor space. Since ancient times they have been used to provide warmth and light. Today, you can use them as a focal point in your garden or patio. They are simple to use and a good choice for people who want the benefits of a fire pit outdoors without the risks associated with an open flame.

Chimineas made of clay can be made of kiln-fired clay and coated with a waterproof layer to ensure long-lasting. They are produced and fired in small local factories that support communities and the economy of Mexico. Kiln-fired at high temperatures they are used to eliminate any organic or water-based content in the raw clay. This decreases the chance of the clay cracking due to thermal shock.

Many of our larger chimineas are designed with an area for cooking that allows you to grill food over the flame. This is an excellent option for those who want to cook and entertain simultaneously and will add a bit of enjoyment and flavor to dinners with friends and family.

When you are first starting to use your chiminea it is always best to build the fire in a small area and gradually increase the size of the fire. This is because the clay acts as a radiator, and should you start with a large fire the temperature will increase too fast. The clay could crack because it isn't used to the heat.

Wrapped With Iron is one of the many designs in our large clay range. This design is based on the classic clay look of Mexican pottery, with an iron accent on the lid and the stack. This model also comes with a movable chimney stand and cover.

The Honeycomb clay big chiminea is a modern fire pit that features an elongated pattern on the bowl and the stack. This model is lighter in color with soft tones, and comes with a chimney cover that can be removed and a stand.

Maintenance

Chimineas are constructed from clay, which is prone to cracking. This is not a major problem, but it could affect the appearance and performance. To avoid this from happening, it's important to keep your chiminea in good condition. Cleaning it frequently and sealing it with sealant is an integral part of this. Store your chiminea correctly to avoid damage from extreme cold and moisture.

One of the primary reasons for cracks in a chiminea is poor handling. Chimineas are like an enormous piece of fine china, and it should be handled with care. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that is likely to ignite or ignite it while it is hot. One dealer told me that he could not assure his chimineas against breakage, because they are often damaged by careless handling even before they were fired up!

Another common cause of cracks on chimineas can be caused by using water to put out the fire. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature changes, and pouring water on the chiminea can cause stress fractures and thermal shock. The best way to put out the chiminea is to let the fire die naturally, or to use sand to extinguish it in a safe manner.

If you are purchasing an all-new chiminea, it is important to choose one that has an accompanying stand. It is easier to clean and make it look more attractive in your backyard. Chimineas that do not have stands can be hard to move, particularly if it's rainy or windy. You should also purchase a poker to assist you in move the logs and a brush to remove the ash and soot.

You should "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly as you first buy it. Start with small fires and increase the size of your logs gradually. During this time, the clay will become more resistant to cracks and seasoned. A seasoned chiminea will also hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small flames, you'll be capable of starting a large fire with confidence. It is important to keep watch on the size of the fire to ensure it does not get out of hand.
