They also both emit smoke that could contain pollutants such as secondhand tobacco smoke. Make sure that the area surrounding the chiminea does not contain anything that could ignite. Also ensure that the chiminea is kept away from eaves or trees that could catch fire. Wear protective clothing when you use the chimney.

Both chimineas and fire pits are best placed on a fire-safe surface, such as pavers or concrete, bricks or slate tiles. The chiminea must be at least 10 feet away from any structure, or any combustible material. It's also an excellent idea for homeowners to invest in a water hose or a container so they can quickly extinguish any accidental fires that might become out of control.

It is recommended to line the bottom of a clay chiminea with pea gravel or rock sand. This will stop the clay from cracking from heat produced by a large fire. A slate or metal stack top can be positioned on the chiminea in order to shield it from rain. Chimineas are made to be 'cured' or broken in slowly by creating small fires, and then increasing the size of them over time. After three to four small fires, your chiminea should be ready to handle large logs.

When you use your chiminea, it is important to follow local laws regarding burning. In times of drought, be extra cautious as the smoke from your chiminea could cause your neighbors to become unhappy or ask you whether you'd like to remove the flames.

Chimineas made of clay and steel are both susceptible to cracking or breaking in the event of weather that is too cold or hot.

When using your chiminea, it is recommended that the grate be filled with around 3 inches of pea gravel to prevent the fire from spreading too quickly and causing a fire hazard.
