Hey Folks,

Well my pal Peter stoked a while and had to go home so I decided to keep s=
toking by myself. If nothing else this video shows a kiln gas flow rate tes=
t with a couple pieces of Red Pine because they burned with lots of smoke..=
.

I stoked another 14 hours with some advancement recorded in the Bartlet. Th=
e needle pyrometers look like they got tired and I think they stopped readi=
ng correctly. Has anyone else experienced that phenomena with a wood kiln?

Thanks and stay in there eh.
