Lots of photos so I'm posting several separate posts and grouping the photos. First up will be a visual dismantling of the kiln from front to back with a few isolated shots.
Next layer back...
Kiln Door dismantled. So neatly stacked!
 |
| Front of the kiln. We had some impromptu tumbling on both sides. |
 |
| Major blast of ash |
 |
| It was quite windy during the week of cooling so everything was covered with soot. |
 |
| Soot and pots glued together with melted ash |
 |
| Fortunately this soot landed on the posts well after they had cooled so it wiped off easily. |
 |
| Some things stick. Wadding and remnants on the front shelf. |
 |
| Obliterated cones in the front: ^010; ^5 ^6 ^7; ^9 ^10 ^11 |
 |
| Shelves behind the front layer |
 |
| Some Joe Molinaro structures |
 |
| Deliberate tumble stacking! |
 |
| Pots in the sand |
 |
| Deeper in the kiln |
 |
| Deeper layers plus pots on the side walls |
 |
| Very back set of shelves. These guys got ash but we started to see crustiness so the heat didn't penetrate as far back as we would have liked. |
 |
| Proof in the ash-covered cones. ^9 is down but ^10 barely moved. I think ^11 is still asleep. |
 |
| Matt crawling out after the last pot is removed. |
 |
| All done! |
Next posting will get into some of the details...
