The gas fired down draft test kiln referred to in a previous news article (published on 4 December 2008) was successfully fired today.
After just under 5 hours cone 9 was well on the way down when the burner was turned off and the kiln closed up. The next firing, when soda will be used, is scheduled to take place early in the new year.
I will write a technical article about the project in the near future once I have gathered together all of the information and photographs.
