Origins
Imagine a warm evening in the summer with your loved ones and family eating delicious food outdoors, all warmed by your Mexican or clay chiminea. It's a scene reminiscent of the Mexican origins of this kind of outdoor chiminea firepit.
These stoves, which were terra-cotta in origin, were designed to function as radiant heaters as well as ovens, aiding tribesmen during the cold desert nights of their homeland. Their distinctive shape was derived by their utilitarian principles that emphasised practicality and shared living.
These stoves were initially constructed of natural terra-cotta clay which was dried and wood-fired in kilns. Clay chimineas are more rustic in appearance and were not glazed to protect their surface. Modern manufacturers now produce chimineas from metals such as cast iron, brass and aluminum. These materials offer enhanced durability and resistance to weather which addresses one of the main limitations of the clay design.
The distinctive design of the chiminea was inspired by the concept of a pot-bellied base that rises into an elongated chimney. This shape is an ideal way to contain fire while also directing smoke upwards, which decreases the possibility of air inhalation and enhances heat retention.
Chimineas were used for cooking, heating and providing light for the indigenous people of Mexico. Today, we can savor them for their beauty and the warmth they provide on chilly autumn evenings and even in chilly winter sunshine.

Traditional chimineas are crafted by local artisans using moist clay that is taken directly from the earth. The clay was then molded to its final shape before being kiln dried. Clay chimeneas are extremely labor intensive to make, especially big ones.

The rim of the clay was usually decorated with patterns or carvings.
Modern chimineas are generally constructed of metals, such as cast-iron or aluminum. The introduction of chimineas made of metal was an important evolutionary step because they can withstand high temperatures and moisture without cracking. This allowed chimineas to be used in many different climates.

It should be placed in a level area and away from anything that could ignite like grass, trees or other structures. The top rated chiminea must also be set on a concrete, brick, or stone patio and never on a wooden deck. It's a good idea also to place 50mm of sand, or Gardeco Lava Stones beneath the chiminea. This will shield it from direct heat.
Materials
Traditional clay and terracotta chimineas, which are still made by small companies in the present, are fired to temperatures as high as 1000c.

The unique design of the chiminea with its wide base and narrow chimney spout allow maximum air flow into the chiminea's bottom, minimizing the intake of smoke. It also helps to retain heat within the belly of the chiminea, making it ideal for cooking over.
Currently, chimineas are available in a wide variety of materials, including terracotta, cast iron, and even aluminum. Terracotta chimineas are the most commonly used, and offer the classic Mexican appearance. They are susceptible to cracking when under pressure and should be placed on flat surfaces that are fire-proof. Cast iron and aluminum chimineas carry less risk of damage but are still stylish and durable.
To ensure the chiminea lasts for as long as is possible, it should always be placed in a well-ventilated location and shielded from wind and rain. It should be placed away from any structures or walls that could catch fire, as well as the roofs of patios and eaves that could be damaged by a sudden shift in temperature once the chiminea is extinguished. To stop the chiminea from smoking too much, it's advised to keep the leaves away and only seasoned, kiln dried logs be burned. Regular cleaning with wire brushes is essential, as it will keep deposits from accumulating which are likely to ignite and turn black. Chimineas can be protected from the wind to reduce the amount of smoke it releases.
Maintenance
The proper maintenance is vital to the longevity of any fire apparatus. This can help extend its lifespan and also ensure that it operates safely. Chimineas are relatively fragile and should always be kept outside in a place where they can be properly taken care of. Although a chiminea made of clay may seem sturdy enough, it's still susceptible to cracking and breaking due to various sources. This is why it is important to inspect your chiminea on a regular basis for signs of wear and tear and to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding how often it should be fired.

Sanding can be followed with several coats of stove paint or grill paint to improve the appearance and protect your chiminea from rust.
Keep your chiminea out of direct sunlight and wind, as this can cause the paint to peel off and fade. If this occurs you can sand the affected areas with water-based emulsion paints or masonry sprays and it's usually easy to do.
