Billy's Detroit Anagama

[gary navarre]

Hey Folks,

 Well I finally spent a couple afternoons setting bricks around the exit flue of this anagama I've inherited. We think Billy might be back in the states but he wrote me a note in FB I'm taking the stack in a direction he was also thinking. The stack collection box is a bit large but someone once said go big or go home so I made it big. It turns out those firebrick splits I hauled down from up North came in handy. I don't know yet if we are going to set bricks in the exit flue to make an open wall or constrict the flow with tight pot loading. The passive air ports are large enough I could make a wall I could take apart with long tongs or hooks if needed while firing.
