U.P. Woodfired Kiln 4th. Firing Finishing The Front Setting

[gary navarre]

Hey Folks,

 It look likes the weather is cooperating for a firing so I'm glad I did all this work earlier even though it was well below freezing the last few weeks. In real time I lit the Pignose yesterday and I'm letting the charge of mixed hard and soft wood cook down to nothing in 6-8 hours just to do some drying of the wadding and any moisture in the greenware which was at or below 20% from house drying. Zach is going to help me pick up some Elm sticks from a standing dead Peter cut down and I might cut some more Hemlock limbs just to add a little extra to the fuel pile. I'm not in any real hurry so I'll probably keep a small fire going and get useta working hard again because I got a little soft staying in the house all winter. Thanks for watching and stay in there eh.
