It is crucial to maintain the chiminea correctly to avoid this. Cleaning it frequently and sealing it with sealant is an integral part of this.

One of the primary reasons for cracks in a chiminea is careless handling. Handle a chiminea with care, as it is a large piece fine china. Avoid dropping it or touching anything that could ignite, or firing it while it is hot.

Using water to extinguish the flame is another common reason for cracks in Chimineas. Clay is very sensitive to sudden temperature changes and the act of pouring water over the chiminea can cause stress fractures and thermal shock. The best way to safely end the fire in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally or make use of sand.

You should "cure" (break in) your chiminea slowly as you purchase it for the first time. Start with small fires and increase the size of the logs gradually. As you progress the clay will get more seasoned and resistant to cracks. A seasoned chiminea can be able to hold a larger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you are able to begin making larger-sized fires with confidence. It is important to keep in mind the size of the fire to ensure it does not get out of control.
