@HorseloverFat ,
So one day Lord Horse said I need a kiln.
So he dug a 18 inch deep x 12 inch wide cylinder in the ground.
Left 3 to 6 inches at the base for wood.
Added a BRC wire [ for concrete work ] about 3 inches above the
wood and a short iron pipe in a channel was dug into the wood section.
He got a cover that he insulated with a hole at the top.
Borrowed his wife's blow drier and ..............................

Blew out prematurely?
YES! Scared the hell outta me...
I’ll blame the wasps... even though they don’t typically sting..
(I actually think it was too much weight...)
Howard wouldn’t have popped!
So square one...
Probably just do a “chimney style” a little wider on the bottom.. with a vented lid...

Sooo I went down there.. with a fairly clear idea in mind.... brought materials outside.. bam! Like 11 wasps came out INSTANTLY, like “Where the hell’d you put our big ball of dirt?” they’re not aggressive but i don’t want to accidentally squish one while working the clay, sending alarm pheromone to the nest...
So i laid out my “base”... now just have to wait until early evening.
