Another essential step in maintaining your chiminea is to clean the inside and grill of the chiminea following each use.

This is where you gradually increase the temperature for an hour, and then let it naturally go out. This assists the clay in adjusting to the higher temperatures of regular combustion and avoids cracking or breakage. Utilize a grate in the chiminea in order to control the size of the flame, and also prevent the accumulation of ash. Pea gravel, rock sand or chiminea rock are great options for this. To prevent damaging the clay create a fire that is less than the chiminea's capacity. A chiminea should be covered when not in use. This will protect it from water damage. Snow or rain can cause rust on metal chimineas. It is not uncommon for the clay to break when exposed to moisture. Most dealers sell covers for your chiminea. This is a great investment.
