#13 Building a Wood Fired Pottery Kiln - High Temp Firing

After a lot of hard work and planning, I made some time this fall to fire the new train kiln, a pottery kiln fired with wood. The firing started on a Friday morning with a small camp fire. A temperature of around 250 degrees Fahrenheit was maintained for 8 hours. I then raised the temperature slowly over the next 4 hours to around 600 degrees F and then threw some large logs in the firebox, closed the dampers and air ports and took a 6 hour sleep. Saturday morning, the temperature was 350 degrees F and I fired the kiln to Cone 9-11 over the next 24 hours. The peak temperature reached was 2350 degrees F. Overall the kiln was very responsive to my interactions with the dampers and air ports. I had complete control over how fast or slow I could get the temperature to rise. Very pleased with the pottery that came out of the kiln 5 days later after cooling down slowly. I'm excited to have this project come out successful and look forward to many more firings! Thanks for following along. Jason
