Looking After Your Chiminea
It is important to look after your Clay Chiminea so that you are able to fully benefit from years of use and enjoyment.
Being forged from fire clay the clay chimineas are hard but fragile in nature. They will damage if they are knocked or blown off of their stand. Therefore, it is important to store your chiminea on a flat surface, on the stand provided, in an area where it is less likely to be damaged by human, pet or weather interference.
It is beneficial to seal a clay chiminea every two or three months with a clay or brick water sealant, which will help to extend the life of your chiminea. It is also possible to repaint your chiminea should the paint begin to peel after use and it is even possible to use an ordinary household emulsion.
Winter Care for your Clay Chiminea
It is important to keep your clay chiminea dry. By nature clay will soak up moisture, and if you were to start a fire in a damp chiminea the resulting temperature change could cause the it to crack. One of the Rain and dust covers would be ideal to protect the chiminea from the elements.
During the winter months when the chiminea is likely to be exposed to more severe weather conditions and specifically frost it is highly recommended that you store your chiminea indoors, as the clay could become victim to frost damage.
It is also recommended to stop using the chiminea during these periods as a sudden temperature change may result in cracking or damage.
