Front of kiln, loading door in center.
This is the primary firebox as well. |
A side door provides a means of loading the
rear of the kiln. |

 |
| Note side stoke holes along the tube. |
Dan's kiln was in unique blend of building
styles.
The tube was made in such a manner that multiple short arch segments, each
about four feet long,
were thrown and butted together, to create the angle
of incline up the hill. |

Anagama style flame shaped tubes make for
interesting patterns,
where the sides come together in the top of the arch. |

| Note wadding between rims of larger planters
at left. |
Rich surface effects from ash and flash. |
