This adobe brick kiln works well to fire pottery. I recently made this large pot from raw earth sourced in the pit next to my hut. This pot will be used to collect and store water.
The process for firing this pottery is simple.
1) I place some wood and kindling in the kiln.
2) Then I light it with hot coals collected from the fireplace in my hut.
3) I allow all the wood to burn down.
4) Then I push the coals and ash away from the middle and place two bricks in the center of the kiln.
5) I place the pot on the bricks.
6) I stack dry branches of wood all around the pot.
7) The hot coals will slowly catch fire and soon all the wood will be engulfed in flames.
8) The fire will burn for about 30 minutes.
9) The next day after the fire burns out the pottery can be removed from the kiln.
