Handling with care is among the main causes of cracks in a Chiminea. Chimineas are like a large piece of fine china, and it should be handled carefully. Avoid dropping it or not letting it touch anything that can burn, or firing it while it is hot.

Using water to extinguish the flame is another common reason for cracks in chimineas. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations and pouring water on a chiminea causes thermal shock and stress fractures. The best way to safely extinguish the fire in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally, or make use of sand.

When you first purchase your terracotta chiminea it needs to be "cured" (broken into) slowly. Start with small fires and increase the size of the logs gradually.

After three or four small flames, you'll be capable of starting a large fire with confidence. However, it is still important to monitor the size of your fire and to not allow it to get too large or out of control.
