Very nice video Andy, I melted an .06 cone in a fire one time that is 1828F. I think I’ll get a hand full of different cones to try. Different fuels give different temps too . Thanks
So since you put more wood on it, did the pottery vitrify?
I do have problems with my pottery firing because I can’t get my temperatures right. Although thanks fo this information it help a lot .👍
This is interesting, what does this show us about the risk of thermal shock ? If the top is so much cooler than the bottom as the fire dies, will that increase the risk of cracking because of thermal shock ? I’m wondering if it makes sense to always raise the pots on a rack when firing to keep it above the coals.
wow andy! i cant Wow Andy !! I was really surprised by the result,
How the hematite turned red, it was yellow (I think your yellow pot is nicer but still the result is really amazing!
listen i have an red dirt Which is really easy to achieve and i tried to make from it red paint pottery
And guess what?
it worked!! But the color was not red it turned into a beautiful black
I highly recommend you also try (:
i realy enjoy from this video And I would be very happy if you would make more videos on the preparation and use of pottery paint
thank you!
I've used the MN Measurement Instruments (you noted) thermocouple/thermometer setup. One of their thermometers reads up to 2500F. Seem to be good quality and relatively inexpensive. They've got a 14.5 and 18.5 inch thermocouple that allow for more angled positioning deep into the fire. A few fire bricks with a gap for the thermocouple protects the wiring behind and also serves as a stand for positioning.

Thanks for the info on infrared guns.
Darn. I just got a thermocouple for Christmas.
hmmm I need to make sure I have enough wood for my firing
Very helpful Andy. Got an infrared gun for Christmas and can't wait to use it, your video as usual very informative.
It looks to me that you have proved that an oven is needed for what you are doing.
I wonder why you do an open fire to cook pottery.
That heat gun is going to revolutionize out door firing…great video…Thank you!
Andy, good show , great information, thanks ROB
Thanks again Andy! I was looking for a heat gun yesterday with a high temp range. LOL there it is this AM. Placed an order just now👍 Multi use-cooking, forging and ceramic firing!
