Pottery firing experiment
PrimitiveTim:
I love the fern imprint! That stuff is so cool!
HikingViking:
heck yes! thats awesome! i was just talking to my housemates about setting something like this up. the fern imprints are definitely my favorite. did you continually feed the fire? or just burn it hot and let it sit?
Jodocus:
I kept the fire going for about 9 hours, feeding it in shorter and shorter intervals as it got hotter, until I went to sleep. Did not take too much wood, maybe two buckets.
stickbender:
Cool! 8) Well I know one of the first things I will be doing when I go back to Montana in April. That is nice. The clay I have is like modeling clay. In fact, all I have is clay, and rock. Almost six acres of it! Those are nice. Now I have two methods to try, Ryan's and yours. How long did you let the pottery dry, before you fired it?

Love this post. I've done open fire with good results, but you do it way better with a build-your-own oven.
