Through the Roof

I'm all set to fire my new kiln as soon as the pots dry out. I had most everything out in the sun today, I still have 4 plates and bowls to decorate and they'll get out tomorrow. So hopefully Sunday or Monday I'll fire. I used a steel culvert pipe for the chimney. I had it left over from my gas reduction kiln I had years ago. I also had saved that roof jack so it worked out well.Here's the left side burner. I use these burners called Big Burthas that are made in Wisconsin. I'm pretty sure they are made for agriculture use, but many potters have used them over the years and they are all I've ever had. Best of all they are affordable. Two cost less than $90.

I'll get some pics of all my dry pots tomorrow.
