I'm WAY behind on keeping up with the mail. About ten days ago I noticed the
thread that focused on how to get color, especially red, in a pit fire. I have
had great luck sprinkling red copper oxide directly onto the pieces. The
"reds" vary from a bit of real red but mostly is a rich red-burgundy...like a
deep red wine.
Again, thanks to everyone who responded to my question regarding the residue
that I had been getting on my pieces from the pit fire. I have done two large
pit fires since, did not use pine---only hardwood, and it worked! No residue!
Happily anticipating the next pit fire....
