A few pictures from the June 2014 firing.
We were blessed with superb summer weather and with the invaluable assistance of Erika and Lili, visiting from Austria, the three-day firing went very smoothly, despite a pair of nesting wagtails making part of my woodstack unusable. The kiln is now behaving very well, gaining and maintaining temperature easily. And I finally seem to be learning how to stack the kiln to get plenty of flame through the bottom, to give good heat distribution and, hopefully, better flashing and ashing throughout.
