Chimineas from clay have been in use for around four hundred years to gather around to talk and eat and to warm the home. They are typically made of terracotta, but they are also available with other materials like cast iron or steel.

Cast iron is more durable and less vulnerable to damage caused by sudden temperature fluctuations than terracotta. However, it can crack or break easily if it is not shielded from rain and snow. Terracotta is more delicate, but gives the chiminea a genuine Mexican look.

This is accomplished by putting two to three inches (or more) of river sand to the bottom of the chiminea. Start with small pieces and increase the size of wood gradually. After a few small flames, your clay will be ready to use.

Chimineas made of clay can be sealed to prevent moisture from destroying the chimneys over time. This is ideal for any fire pit outdoors. However, it is crucial for clay chimineas, because the clay absorbs moisture and can crack if exposed too long.

Additionally, they should never be stored in a closed space because repeated exposure to moisture could cause the clay to break or crack.

Clay chimineas are heavier than other chimineas, and should be set on a base that is designed for outdoor fire pits.
