Types
A small chiminea is a fire pit that provides an additional layer of warmth to a seating area or patio. They are also a great alternative to a barbecue grill to cook outdoors. These units come in various materials, ranging from terracotta clay and cast iron to steel. They can also be designed in a more traditional or contemporary style.
Some models have chimneys that direct smoke away from the seating area. This is a great feature for those who reside in an area where there are rules regarding the amount of smoke outdoor fireplaces and other heat sources can emit. Some models also feature an ash catcher and a spark screen in the chimney. Depending on the size of your fireplace, you might think about an adobe chiminea which can accommodate a large fire or that holds a lot of wood.
The material used in your chiminea will have an immediate impact on its performance as well as appearance in your outdoor space. Terra cotta chimineas offer the classic look, but it is susceptible to damage by the elements. A chiminea made of Metal chimineas is more durable, however it can require a protective coating to prevent rust. A hybrid chiminea consists from a mixture of stainless steel and cast iron. It could have the best features of both.
The size of your chiminea can also affect how much heat is generated. A larger chiminea will be heavier and more expensive, but it can also generate more heat than a smaller chiminea.
Chimineas are often decorated with a decorative surface which adds to their charm. Some are embellished with ornaments and carved patterns while others are simple lines and a basic finish. Some models have a lid to keep pets and children away from the fire. Some models have a door to allow you to easily add fuel and to remove ashes. There are also Chimines that come with an integrated grill that allows you to prepare food with an open flame.
Safety
If you're thinking about purchasing a small chiminea there are a few crucial safety measures to keep in your mind. Chimineas don't pose an immediate threat to pets or children, but they can get very hot. Taking a few precautions will ensure that you're able to enjoy your chiminea in peace for a long time to be.
It is important to understand that the fireplace or stove made of wood is not an Chiminea. They don't have dampers that control the flame and can easily break if they are not handled carefully.
Use a lid that is fire-proof on your modern chiminea. This will stop rain from entering and damaging the stack. It also helps reduce the amount of smoke that is emitted. You might also think about purchasing a freestanding, fireproof frame that can be placed above the smoke stack and shield it from the elements.
Chimineas can produce lots of sparks when they're burning, so it's best to avoid placing them in proximity to explosive materials like fences, clothes lines, and plants. It's recommended to clean the area around your chiminea before lighting it, and to ensure that it has at minimum six feet of distance from anything that is combustible.
Another precaution to take is never to make use of lighter liquid, gasoline or any other accelerator in your chimney. These liquids could cause an explosive explosion inside the chimney, and pose an hazard to fire. It is not recommended to use water to ignite a chiminea fire as it can cause the chinese clay to crack and even break.
Make sure to use only wood to heat your chiminea. It emits less smoke than other fuels. When you ignite your chiminea, start with small pieces of kindling then add larger logs to the flames. If you're unable to light the kindling quickly, try balling up newspapers and laying it against the grate within the stack. This will create a powerful draft that will quickly light the paper and your kindling.
Never burn a Chiminea indoors. It releases deadly carbon monoxide fumes that are lethal for both people and animals. It's also a fire hazard and can cause serious damage to your home.
Maintenance
If used regularly, a chiminea is an attractive addition to any outdoor space and provides warmth and ambience. Regular maintenance improves its appearance and reduces injuries and dangers to safety and ensures that it will be enjoyed for years to be to. Regular inspections and cleaning of both the interior and exterior should be part of the routine maintenance, as should appropriate storage in non-seasonal weather conditions.
Chimineas should be set in a place that is free of overhanging branches and structures, and away from combustible materials such as pavers or concrete. It is also hazardous to place a chiminea beneath a roof or other structure. Sparks can fly from the chimney and ignite whatever is above. The area must be clean and large enough to fit the entire chiminea, including the flue, and have the possibility of having a few feet of clearance from all sides for safe use.
Chiminies should be cleaned using a mild detergent and water using soft brushes and a cloth to avoid damaging the clay surface. After washing the chiminea it must be thoroughly rinsed and allowed to completely dry. It is important to get rid of any ash that has accumulated in the chimney and chiminea bowl before cleaning. Wearing gloves during the cleaning process is crucial to avoid contact with hot soot or ash. During the process, it's important to examine the interior and exterior for any chips or cracks that may require repair.
If cracks do develop they can be fixed with a specially designed clay repair kit, which is available from a variety of chiminea stores. These kits include all the necessary adhesives and sealants to properly fix small cracks and fractures. If the crack is not addressed it can eventually develop into a major issue that affects the integrity of the chiminea and makes it unsafe to use.
To keep the chiminea in good shape it must be fuelled by natural wood products that have been dried and seasoned. Burning paint or treated wood, as well as trash and plastics can result in toxic fumes being released into the chiminea. A well-maintained and efficient fuel can prevent cracks or damage caused by excessive heat. It is also important to manage the size of fires within Chimineas, and avoid massive, roaring fires that can cause thermal shock and stress to the clay.
Cleaning
A well-maintained chiminea can bring many enjoyable evenings of warmth and fun. Like all outdoor furniture and equipment, a chiminea needs to be maintained regularly to ensure its performance is optimal. Safety is the first priority. Goggles and gloves are essential to protect your skin when cleaning. It's also important to ensure that the chiminea is cool before starting the cleaning process. This will not only protect your skin, but also avoid the inhalation of harmful particles that may still be hot after previous fires.
Remove any large chiminea clumps that have accumulated in the chiminea before you begin cleaning. Get rid of them in an appropriate manner. With a wire brush gently brush off any loose rust, remembering to wear your protective equipment. A light sanding process is beneficial as it helps remove any remaining rust particles the wire brush missed, and smooths out the surface of your chiminea.
Clay chimineas need to be regularly examined, and if any damage is found and it is repaired, it can be done by using a clay repair kit, available at most home improvement stores. The inspection should be conducted before you use the chiminea as it will help strengthen the material and make it ready for regular heating. This is a good method to examine the chiminea's condition for cracks and other damage that may not be visible even when it's not in use.
It's vital to note that a chiminea must be used outside on a non-flammable foundation such as a concrete slab, sand or a hearth pad. This is especially important especially if you have pets or children around that may be tempted to play near the flames or if your chiminea's situated near flammable materials such as wooden fences plants, gazebos, and furniture. Also, it's a good idea to place a lid over the top of your chiminea when it's not in use, so as to minimize the chance of flames spreading.
