Terracotta and clay are less durable than metal chimineas and may crack or break when exposed to high temperatures and rough handling. However, they don't heat up as fast as metal chimineas and may be better suited for homes with pets or children.

Due to their design Chimineas are more secure than fire pits because they are confined. Chimines direct smoke upwards to lessen the amount of smoke that you or your neighbors are exposed to.

If you are using a chiminea, you must avoid windy conditions because strong gusts can send smoke and embers into the air. It is recommended that you construct a chiminea in an area that is fire-proof, also known as a patio hearth, which is a three-by-four-foot area covered with pavers or another fireproof materials.

It is therefore important to build a patio hearth or any other area that is fire-safe, on which to place the Chiminea. It should be a small rectangular or circular space which is covered with pavers and located at a minimum distance from other flammable structures or other materials.

Clay chimineas can last for many years with proper care and use. They should be placed on a stone or concrete fire pad or in a hearth for a patio and on top of a layer of sand or lava stones to prevent them from cracking due to heat stress.

Fill your chiminea up with sand until the chiminea is half full. This will keep the clay cool and stop the fire from touching the sides. Once the sand has dried, you can ignite some newspaper and lighter. Make sure to keep it from the sides. When the fire is smouldering, you can add some logs or larger pieces of wood.

After you've started small flames with your new chiminea it's a good idea to seal the clay. This will help to keep the clay safe and prevent damage from moisture to the paint finish.

Sealer should be applied regularly as the sealer will wear out over time with regular use. You can buy an aqueous sealer from an outdoor or hardware store.

Keep the largest chiminea spotless at all times, but especially during the initial fires. This allows the clay to "season" and become more heat resistant. Start your first fire with a few pieces of kindling and let them burn completely. You can then build larger fires and add more kindling each time. Avoid using wood with a lot bark because it could cause a lot more sparks. Instead, try to choose seasoned wood, which is more likely to create less sparks.

When the tall chiminea has been seasoned and ready to use then fill it three-quarters of the way full with sand, making sure that it doesn't touch the clay. Use a fire starter without lighter fluid or other flame-enhancing products. Once the sand has been covered, begin small-scale fires using paper and some kindling. The flame should get a little larger each time. Be careful not to let it touch the clay or any other substances that are flammable.

A clay chiminea will last longer if it is regularly cleaned. This decreases the risk of structural damage from the accumulation of ash and soot. Ash that is not burned can pose the risk of fire.

Once or twice per year You should seal the clay chiminea. The seal shields the clay chiminea from the elements, and prevents moisture from penetrating the clay.
