This allows the clay to adjust to the higher temperatures of regular combustion and avoids cracking or breaking.

Make use of a grate inside the chiminea in order to control the size of the flame and prevent the buildup of ash. Rock sand, pea gravel or chiminea rock are great alternatives for this purpose. Always build an area smaller than the chiminea is able to handle to avoid overheating and damaging the clay.
