Gustin Kiln Firing: November 2010

The Gustin kiln in South Dartmouth, MA was loaded November 6th - 9th, and fired November 10th - 15th. Above is an image of the anagama before the side walls to the firebox were stacked. The chambers were unloaded Saturday, December 4th. Below is an image of the front stack fired:

During the firing of the anagama chamber, we introduced charcoal into the firebox; this was done at the end. You can see how this was done by watching the video below. A total of sixteen bags of natural charcoal were put into the kiln.

It was a very good firing...lots of ash and heat. Cone 12, the highest we had in the kiln, was close to a molten mass up front, which means we were close to, if not at, c/14. Here are some of my pieces from the anagama:
