Firing the Anagama

After a long winter's wait, we have finally loaded the wood kiln. We started the firing this am at 6:00 am.  Vincent was the man. The word is that he couldn't find matches so he carried a flaming piece of wood through the studio that he ignited from one of the burners on the car kiln.  We decided this Olympic style run to ignition was something only Vincent could pull off.  Wish we had video.

It is 1:30 pm and we are at about 950˚ F in the rear of the chamber.  Will keep posting and set up some images.
