Clay chimineas will last for many years when they are properly maintained and used. Place them on a stone, concrete or patio hearth. Cover the fire place with a layer of sand and lava stones.

Safety

If you decide to purchase clay models be sure that it is placed in a permanent location. Moving it around can cause damage to the clay and cracks. If you don't have the space to create an enduring chiminea the chiminea covers protect it from damage caused by rain as well as prevent dirt and leaves from growing. This could create a fire risk.

Chimineas are hefty. If you plan to use them as garden ornaments or put it in an outdoor space that is large, make sure that it is placed securely and that there is enough space around it to ensure its safe operation. Also, think about installing a stone or brick patio to prevent the chiminea from getting damaged by winds.

Fill your chiminea up with sand until the chiminea is half full. This will keep the clay cool and stop the fire from touching any of the sides. Once the sand has dried you can light some newspaper and kindling. Be sure to keep it from the sides. Once the fire is burning you can add logs or larger wood pieces.

Once you have made some small fires in your new chiminea, it's a good idea apply a sealer to the outside of the clay. This will help protect the finish of the clay and prevent moisture damage.

Sealer should be applied periodically since the sealer wears out over time with regular use. You can buy a clay sealer that is suitable from a hardware or garden store, or you can use a high-temperature silicone sealant like Future acrylic floor finish which is ideal for use on ceramic and metal objects that are exposed to extreme temperatures.

When using a chiminea, it is best to only burn wood or split softwood logs that have been seasoned. Keep the chiminea clear from any roofs or eaves that could catch fire. Do not use water to extinguish your chiminea as it could crack terracotta and clay.

Maintenance

Chimineas have a rustic look that draws people to them, however they require special care to keep them in good shape. You can prolong the life of your terracotta chiminea by taking a few preventative steps.

Use a chiminea only on the surface that is safe for fire. This means placing it on a concrete patio or brick outdoor fire pit, on a solid wood deck, or on paving stones that are set in a small area. Also, make sure that there's nothing in front of it that could catch fire, for example a wooden pergola or eaves of the house.

Keep the chiminea spotless all the time particularly during initial fires. This allows the clay "season" to be more resistant to heat. Start your first fire by using a couple of pieces of kindling, and be sure to allow them to burn completely. Then, you can build larger fires and add more kindling each time. Avoid adding wood that has a lot of bark because it could cause a lot more sparks. Instead, you should opt for mature wood, which is more likely to have less sparks.

When the chiminea has been seasoned and ready to use, fill it three-quarters of the way full with sand, ensuring that it doesn't touch the clay. Make use of a fire starter that isn't lighter fluid or other flame-enhancing products. Once the sand has been covered, start an unintentional fire with only paper and kindling. Make the fire a little larger each time, but make certain that it does not touch the clay or any other flammable material.

A chiminea made from clay will last longer if it is regularly cleaned. This decreases the likelihood of structural damage caused by accumulation of soot or ash. Unburned ash can cause an increase in fire risk.

It is also recommended to apply a sealant to the clay chiminea every once or twice per year. The seal shields the clay chiminea against the elements, and stops moisture from leaking into the clay.
