Fuel

The kind of fuel that is used in a Chiminea could have a significant impact on the amount of smoke produced by the appliance. This could also impact the use of the appliance. If excessive smoke is released, it may affect neighbors and cause statutory nuisance complaints.

It is more secure than fossil fuels like charcoal, which emit high levels of smoke and have a larger impact on the environment.

Add small twigs and newspaper when you start the fire to make a strong draft. Also, make sure to place fire-safe pavers or sand under the chiminea as it will get very hot, especially when you add more coals. Also, avoid placing flammable objects within close proximity to the chiminea, or even near it after firing it up, as sparks and embers could spread quickly and cause fire hazards.

A chiminea should be placed on a sturdy outdoor, fire-safe surface, such as brick, concrete, or stone patios.

Maintenance

There are a few things to keep your chiminea looking good and to make it last longer. To make sure that a chiminea made of clay will last for a long period of time, it's important to maintain it regularly, apply protective sealants and adhere to the appropriate guidelines for use.

Another essential step in maintaining your chiminea is to clean the grill and inside of the chiminea after every use. It may be tempting to just clean it up, but using a cleaning product specifically made specifically for outdoor use is vital. The best product is one that is designed for outdoor cleaning and can withstand high temperatures.

After the first fires, you must let it "cure". This is a process where you gradually increase the heat for approximately 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.

A grate is recommended inside the chiminea to help in limiting the size of the fire and to stop ash from accumulating. Rock sand, pea gravel or chiminea rocks are excellent options for this. Always build an open fire smaller than the chiminea can handle in order to avoid overheating and damaging the clay.

Lastly, a chiminea should be covered when not in use to protect it from water damage. Snow or rain can cause rusting to metal chimineas, and it's not common for clay to crack when exposed moisture. Most dealers sell covers for your chiminea outdoor fireplace. This is a good investment.
