Socwell Kiln - at tempurature around cone 8. This kiln has two fire boxes on opposite sides and you stoke each in turn when the fire sucks back into the blow hole. The kiln is only fired about 10-12 hours to achieve the desired amount of wood ash glaze. | |

Joel fires the wood kiln in 2004. This kiln was based on the fast fire kiln design, but has been modified with a canternary arch for more flame action in the ware chamber. | |
