When making a clay chiminea, the maker rolls long thick clay worms into a coil-like pot. He then smooths the outer and inner surfaces before drying. The clay is then fired at high temperatures in a kiln, and then glazed if necessary. The resulting chiminea is affected by changes in temperature and moisture, so it's recommended to place it permanently in the garden.

Clay chimineas must be 'cured' before they can be lit for the first time.
