and here she is, my new wood fire raku kiln and testing today so a video will follow later...
it's an excellent record keeping tool too so next time i'll have my 'notes' to check on..
yesterday i completed the fibre lining with what we call the zicon layer it's the hire fire fibre that we use in the gas kiln so it would be able to reach around 1300 deg C, i fully intend on testing that ability at a later date and doing some sagar tests with soda firing...
later...
Too cool, can't wait to see the results!
