Before you use your chiminea the first time, you should fill it with sand up to about halfway. This will prevent the fire from touching the sides of the stack and aid in keeping the clay cool. Once the sand is dry, you can light some newspaper and kindling. Be sure to keep it from the sides. Once the fire is smouldering you can add some logs or larger pieces of wood.

After you've made a few small flames in your new chiminea it's a good idea to seal the clay. This will protect the clay and prevent damage from moisture to the paint finish.

Sealer should be applied periodically since the sealer wears out with regular use. You can buy clay sealers at an outdoor or hardware store.

Maintenance

Chimineas are a favorite due to their rustic beauty, but they require special care to keep them in good condition. A few preventative measures will ensure that your terracotta chiminea lasts for a long time.

Keep the chiminea clean all the time and especially during initial fires. This lets the clay "season" and becomes more resistant to heat. Start the first few fires with a few pieces of wood and allow them to burn completely. You can build up larger fires by adding more kindling. Beware of wood that has a lot of bark because it could cause a lot more sparks. Instead, choose wood that is seasoned because it is likely to produce less sparks.

Fill the chiminea with three quarters full with sand after it is ready to use. Make sure that it does not touch any clay. Make sure to use a fire starter that does not contain lighter fluid or other flame enhancing products. After the sand has been covered, start an unintentional fire with only paper and a kindling. The flame should get slightly larger each time. Be careful not to let it touch the clay or other flammable materials.

A chiminea made of big clay chiminea will last longer if regularly cleaned. This helps to reduce the risk of structural damage caused by accumulated soot or ash. It also helps to prevent the risk of fire from unburnt ash which can suddenly spark.

Every year, or at least once You should seal the clay chiminea. This shields it from elements and stops moisture from getting into the clay, which can cause it to become softer.
