Clay chimineas are made from fired clay that has been kiln-fired and coated with a waterproof glaze to ensure long-lasting durability. They are manufactured and fired in small local factories that help support the economy and communities in Mexico. They are fired at high temperatures to eliminate any organic or water-based material in the raw clay. This minimizes the possibility of cracking in the clay as a result of thermal shock.

Maintenance
Chimineas, made of clay, are prone to cracking. Although this is typically a minor problem but it can affect the appearance and function of the chiminea. To avoid this from happening, it's important to keep your chiminea in good condition. Cleaning it regularly and sealing it with sealant is an integral part of this. It is important to store your chiminea properly to prevent damage from the elements and cold temperatures.
Handling with care is among the most frequent causes of cracks in a Chiminea. Chimineas are an enormous piece of fine china, and it should be handled with care. Avoid dropping it, not letting it touch anything that is likely to ignite or fire it when it is hot. One dealer told me that he did not warrant his chimineas against breaking, because they were often broken by careless handling even before they were fired up!
The use of water to put out a fire is another common cause of cracks in Chimineas. Clay is extremely sensitive to sudden temperature fluctuations and pouring water on the chiminea can cause thermal shock and stress fractures. The best way to safely end the fire in a chiminea would be to let it die naturally or make use of sand.
It is crucial to buy an chiminea with a base. It will be simpler to clean, and it will look better in your garden. Chimineas with no stands can be difficult to move, especially when it is windy or rainy. It is recommended to purchase an instrument to help move the logs, and a brush to get rid of soot and ash.
When you first purchase your chiminea it should be "cured" (broken into) slowly. Start by lighting small fires, then increase the size of your logs gradually. In this period the clay will become more resistant to cracks and seasoned. A seasoned chiminea is also able to provide a bigger and more controlled fire. After three or four small fires, you can begin making larger-sized fires with confidence. It is important to keep watch on the size of the fire to ensure it doesn't become out of control.
