Help Please:
I have recently purchased a 55 gallon oil drum and am interested in learning
all I can about firing in them in them with organic fuels--sawdust, pine
needles, straw, etc.
Have mostly terra cotta (bisqued and unbisqued) but would welcome any
information you could offer on any clay body.
I have Karin Hessenberg's book, Sawdust Firing, but there is very little
infor about bin kilns.
Thank you.
