Intrepid Hunter Of Small Mammals

At first light, I'm watching Pogi stalk slowly across the lawn, cocking his head and carefully listening, and then diving mouth first into a gopher hole. For all the damage that he does out there, I hope he does catch the occasional gopher. I've been busy, so I've not been baiting them properly, and I have lost the battle. Pogi fights on.

Kiln Success

I fired it for 5 hours and got it up to 2275 degrees F, which is plenty hot. I think the vent could still be a touch larger. It's taken me months to get to this point. One big step left, is to to lay gas line and set up the kiln in the shed.

For the final test, I fired it for about 2-1/2 hours, using the gas outlet closest to the shed. I got it to 2350 degrees F ,and still rising, when I shut it down. I'm golden and now the pipe run will be minimal.
