I would like to get past 1065 "quartz inversion"
iowabow:
When we hit 1065 so i am happy

Well i rearanged the fire by pulling the coals back to black then let them ignite. And built a fire 6 inches above the coals and this brought the temp from 850 to 1000 very fast.
iowabow:
So see the gap in the burning wood and coals. What you are doing with the first half of firing is making charcoal the second half you burn it for a hotter fire. Yes you are seeing bow wood and a lot of it hehe. It is not the good stuff.
iowabow:
