The size of the chiminea determines the amount of heat it generates. The size of the mouth and chimney can also influence how much smoke the chiminea releases. A chimney with a large opening will produce more smoke from chimineas than one with a smaller opening.

Traditionally, chimineas were constructed of clay. However, modern chiminea designs are available in metal, such as cast iron and steel. Terracotta or clay chimineas feature a classic pot belly base. However they can be found in a variety of styles that can be adapted to any style. Chimineas made from clay aren't as sturdy as those made from metal, and require more care to maintain. They also require a permanent location as they are susceptible to being damaged by rain or wind.

The Medium Blossoms is very similar to the Sun but the colors are more yellow and brown. It also has an upgraded iron decorative base supporting the base and stack.

Fuel

The type of fuel used in a chiminea is important as it influences how much smoke the appliance emits, which can affect its use. Too much smoke can disturb neighbors and lead to complaints about nuisance. Kiln dried wood is a good choice, as it releases minimal amounts of smoke and burns extremely efficiently. It is safer than fossil fuels like charcoal, which emit huge amounts of smoke and have a higher impact on the environment.

When you start a fire, be sure to add small twigs and newspaper to the pile to help make a good draft. Also, be sure to place sand or fire-safe pavers underneath the chiminea, as it will become extremely hot, especially when you add more coals. Avoid placing flammable items close to the chiminea or in close proximity to it, once it has been lit. Sparks and embers will spread quickly, causing fire dangers.

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

Never use a chiminea indoors, as the carbon monoxide fumes produced by burning wood or charcoal are lethally dangerous. The fumes are smellless and tasteless, which makes them difficult to identify, and those who breathe them in can lose consciousness in a matter of seconds and never wake up. These fumes are extremely explosive and can ignite your roof or other building.

Maintenance

There are some things you can do to help your chiminea last longer and keep it looking good. Regular cleaning, the application of sealants to protect it and adherence to the proper usage guidelines are the most important factors to a long-lasting chiminea made of clay.

Clay chimineas are brittle and can break or crack easily if handled incorrectly. Contrary to metal chimineas, which can be painted easily, a clay chiminea requires special attention to safeguard it from damage and extend its life span.

Chimineas must be placed away from overhanging branches, low-hanging branches trees, and other structures that could be flammable. It should be positioned on a base that's non-flammable, such as concrete or stone.

The most important thing to do when cleaning a chiminea is to clean the ash and soot that have accumulated prior to adding any more wood. This will ensure that the fire burns safely, and minimizes any structural issues.

Cleaning the chiminea's interior and grill after each use is an essential step to take in maintaining. It's tempting to simply clean it but using a cleansing product made specifically for outdoor use is vital. The best cleaning product is one that is specifically designed for outdoor use, and is able to withstand temperatures of up to 105 degrees.

After the first few fires, it is important to allow it to "cure". This is a process where you gradually increase the heat for approximately an hour and then let it die naturally. This allows the clay to adjust to the higher temperatures of regular burning and prevents breaking or cracking.

Use a grate inside the chiminea to limit the size of the flame and prevent ash buildup. This can be done using rock sand, chiminea stones or pea gravel. To avoid damaging the clay, build a fire smaller than the capacity of the chiminea.

Additionally, a chiminea should be covered when not in use to shield it from water damage. Snow or rain can cause rust on metal chimineas. It is not uncommon for the clay to crack from being exposed to moisture. Most dealers sell covers for your Chiminea. This is a good investment.
