Mel:
Please excuse the stupid newbie question.
Why is there earth banked up against the sides of the new kiln, as
insulation? To stop air intrusion? Slow cooling?

I know it's not laziness, all y'all have been busy busy busy.

Mayor Mel and other Hayfever kiln builders:

What is the hump for? Wish I could get a look at what the insides look
like. It doesn't look like a straight barrel arch all the way back to the
flues. Am I right? I can't qite tell from the picture. I'm asking
because these days I'm looking at the Reitzagama DVD and he has a very
simple barrel arched kiln. Side stoke holes too. The Hay Creek one
doesn't seem to have any.
