Woodfiring going well so far! yesterday was loading. Everything went into the kiln nice and smoothly. This will be the 10th firing of the cloud kiln.

I never get tired of the view of the kiln from the kitchen door.

At this point, it’s still cool enough to open a port and just watch the flames and the pots. Only 800f or so.

Hour 16. 1500f in front, 946 in back. Swing shift is going well, with @dunting.bsky.social and Lilith Rocket running the kiln. They’ll do body reduction overnight, starving the kiln of O2 at various points. I’m back on shift in the morning.

Hour 23, now at 2000f back and front. Night shift has been working hard Here’s the view from the kiln house before I head on up for my shift.
