Fuel

The kind of fuel that is used in a chiminea is important as it influences how much smoke the appliance releases and can be a major influence on its usage. If excessive smoke is released, it can disturb neighbours and lead to complaints from the government about nuisance.

It is more secure than fossil fuels such as charcoal, which emit large amounts of smoke and have a larger impact on the environment.

Put pavers or sand that are safe for fire under the chiminea grill as it can get very hot. This is especially relevant when you add more coals.

It's tempting to simply wipe it down but using a cleansing product made specifically for outdoor use is vital. The best cleaning product is one that is specifically designed for outdoor use, and can withstand high temperatures.

After the first fires, it is important to allow it to "cure". This is when you slowly increase the heat for an hour, and then let it naturally die. This assists the clay in adjusting to the higher temperatures of regular combustion and avoids breaking or cracking.

Make use of a grate inside the chiminea to control the size of the flame and prevent ash buildup. Pea gravel, rock sand or chiminea rock are great options for this. To prevent damaging the clay create a fire that is less than the capacity of the chiminea for the Garden.
