A chiminea made of cast aluminum is another option. It is lighter and more efficient in heating than other chimineas. Another option is to opt for a chiminea made of metal that has been treated with a specific paint that shields it from the elements. This kind of chiminea while more durable than terra-cotta however, is susceptible to cracking in the event that it is not properly secured.

Most terracotta fireplaces must be broken down slowly. Begin with small fires, then increase the size of the flames in the process until you are able to build a fire that is suitable for the size of the chiminea. This process allows the clay to be evenly heated and avoids cracking and damage. Certain terracotta chimineas may be sealed by using an acrylic waterproofing solution to help protect them from the elements.

To prevent them from falling, both terracotta chimineas and cast iron ones must be set on sturdy surfaces. If possible, they should be positioned away from eaves and other types of overhead covers that may catch fire.

Sand helps to protect the clay from heat and keeps it from touching directly to the fire for the first few flames while you're curing the chiminea.

After a few attempts after a few attempts, you can take all the sand from the Chiminea and wash it with a mixture of soap and water or bicarbonate soda paste. This will get rid of any dirt and grime that may remain. This can be a laborious procedure, but it will lower the chance of your chiminea breaking in the future.
