Fired her up to Bisque some pots at 04 - fired perfectly but eager beaver me pushed the limits with a large plate that still had some moisture......I had perfect timing and was standing nearby when it blew- what a great big bang. I guess this was my sacrifice to to kiln gods for the first firing....Two busted pots - no harm elsewhere.
I need a name for the new kiln. Suggestions? Something Greek and firey perhaps....
Mixing glazes for a test firing next week.
