This kiln will be used to fire pottery, make charcoal, and to make quick lime. Without a cover the heat freely escapes. To increase the temperature inside the kiln I was advised to make a cover for the kiln. By primitive means that's easier said than done. A removable kiln cover is rather large and has to be strong enough to withstand movement. It also has to be light enough to physically manage. Let's see how it turns out in this interesting scenario.
Protect your feet while allowing them to be free with my favorite sandals:
Luna Sandals are the original sandals that I've worn on my adventures: lunasandals.com/CHADZUBER
