Bruce,

Have you considered firing up the wood burner for a bisque? It sounds
a lot easier than hauling greenware all over the place...

Small woodkilns are incredibly easy to make. I made one out of
broken bricks I found in our compound. I used it to bisque my
apprentice work for the noborigama. It could hit red heat in less
than an hour. I would make a fire outside the mousehole to warm
things up first. It had a one self stacking area. See photos here:
