Once the sand is dry you can start a small chiminea flame of newspaper and some kindling, making sure that the fire is kept away from the sides of the stack.

Start your fires with only small pieces of kindling and let them burn for a long time. Then, you can build larger fires and add more kindling each time. Avoid using wood with a lot bark as it can create many sparks. Instead, opt for well-seasoned wood, which tends to produce less sparking.

Fill the chiminea with three quarters full of sand when it is ready to use. Be sure to not touch any clay. Use a fire starter without lighter fluid or other enhancing products. After the sand has been covered, start a small fire using only paper and some kindling. Make the fire a little bigger each time, but be certain that it does not come into contact with the clay or any other flammable material.

A clay chiminea will last longer if it is regularly cleaned. This helps reduce the chance of structural damage from the accumulation of ash and soot. It also helps prevent an accident that could cause fire due to unburnt ash that could suddenly spark.
